to give children in rural areas a chance to fly of and realize their dreams
Betterfly is a platform that helps children acquire the basic skills of education: writing, reading, speaking and arithmetics in an autonomous way and a limited amount of time. After mastering this step, children can pursue the regular school program on our platform which will enable them to reach up to the high school level.
for a better access to quality education
We tend to consider access to education as granted. However these numbers are proof that many children around the world do not have the privilege to attend school to acquire basic skills.
We need to act and make access to literacy easier thus democratizing education. Like us, every person on earth has the right to learn.

Many children around the world are hungry for education. Every morning, these children walk miles and miles to go to the nearest school. Very often, they face rain and snow, rocks and dangerous routes, but nothing stops them [...]
These videos extracted from the movie 'Sur le Chemin de l'école' give you an overview of their daily life, and an idea of how
these children are ready to die for education
Our vision: DIGITAL EDUCATION
We believe that the future of education is digital.
Building schools and providing teachers in rural areas is costly but most importantly hard to achieve especially on a large scale. Thanks to new technologies, we can pass these constraints and provide a better quality of education in such areas.
BETTERFLY: we believe our contribution is a radical change of the world that transforms education
Betterfly is a platform that helps children in rural areas learn the basic skills : writing, reading, speaking, arithmetics autonomously and in a limited amount of time.
The children will then be ready to pursue the regular school program provided on our platform up to the high school level.
Our platform will be designed for use on tablets.
An unprecedented opportunity
Betterfly is an opportunity for these children to fly of from their bitter situation in order to improve their daily life. We aim to accompany the platform's users from illiteracy to literacy in the best and easiest way possible. Our challenge is to get these children familiar with the use of new technologies in a very short period of time so they can pursue the path to unlimited access to knowledge in an autonomous way.
Why focusing on education?
Education is key to prevent all disasters happening in the world. Being literate not only improves one's life but also enlightens one's mind and develops one's critical thinking. Moreover, education leads the way to better living conditions and enables one to climb the social ladder. Education is the best tool to fight against poverty and discrimination. Democratizing education will enhance economic growth, maintain peace and security around the world. Through Betterfly, we want to make the path from illiteratcy to literatcy as easier as it can get.
Our journey has begun
Our journey will start from Morocco. During one month, we will visit some villages with or without schools (as unbelievable as it seems in 2015 there are still some areas in the world that do not have schools). Our aim is to get closer to these children by experiencing their living conditions in order to feel their daily struggles. We want to listen to them, give them a voice. This first operation will help us better design our solution to respond in the best way possible to their needs.
If you want to be a part of our journey, meet these butterflies and live their daily life for sometime you are more then welcome to join us. For more details about the journey contact us.
