Bridging Finnish education excellence with localized African implementation.
AGES is a Tanzania-based education and technology company established by Tanzanian and Finnish education experts. We combine school and educator development, digital learning, research and custom software with practical implementation across East Africa.
Education transformation requires more than technology.
AGES believes that meaningful education transformation cannot rely on digital tools alone. Technology is important, but it must be combined with strong pedagogy, teacher capacity, practical learning materials, learning-by-doing, school development, student wellbeing, institutional support, and sustainable local implementation.
Our five services connect school and foundational learning, teacher and leadership development, digital learning and practical skills, partnerships and research, and software development.
We work from Dar es Salaam, connecting Finnish and global expertise with local institutions. Tanzania is our home market, with a regional focus on Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
Global expertise. Local implementation.
