+title: How Does it Work?
+description: "Hundreds of millions of children cannot read, write or do basic math. This is a problem we can and must solve."
+date: Oct 23 2023

+
+## Organization Mission
+
+> elimu.ai's mission is to build innovative learning software that empowers out-of-school children to teach themselves basic reading📖, writing✍🏽 and math🔢.
+
+## What Is the Cost?
+
+The learning software is Free and Open Source (FOSS), so that it can be distributed and used at zero cost.
+
+We believe that children everywhere on Earth—regardless of circumstance—should have the _opportunity_ to learn the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic.
+
+## Software Solution

+
+A collection of educational apps and games teaches children basic literacy and numeracy in a fun and engaging way.    
+
+Each child can learn <i>fully autonomously</i>, without depending on the availability of qualified teachers.
+
+### Learning Platform 🧩
+
+- The elimu.ai software is a _platform_ of educational content and Android apps/games.
+
+### Open Data 📊
+
+- Collected data is made accessible through public learning analytics dashboards.
+
+### Open Source & Scalable 🌱
+
+- Customizable, localizable and scalable software makes it possible to add support for more languages to the platform.
+
+### Efficient Learning 🧠
+
+- Each child is provided with a clear instructional path for learning literacy and numeracy as efficiently as possible.
+- The learning software keeps track of the current knowledge level of the child, and adapts the apps and content to best fit the child's current skill level.
+- As a key result, children can teach themselves to read, write and do basic math **within 6 months**.
