Arifu is an edtech startup based in Nairobi, Kenya, that is focused on upskilling individuals and making information and opportunities accessible to everyone via mobile phones at no cost. The company offers a chatbot platform that allows users to access educational content, master new skills, and earn rewards from partners through interactive SMS or smartphone chat apps, even without internet or airtime. The chatbot delivers personalized content in collaboration with partners including financial service providers, mobile operators, agribusinesses, and NGOs.
