Description: A fun, engaging app designed to teach children in Malawi how to tell the time. It's intuitive so that children don't have to be literate or familiar with the technology and it's rewarding so that it positively enforces their learning.

EuroTalk have developed "Kutchula nthawi" specifically to teach children to learn to tell the time in their own language. "Kutchula nthawi" asks audio questions in Chichewa, the native language of Malawi.

EuroTalk is a company with 20 years' experience in interactive learning. We are currently working with The Scottish Malawi Foundation and the Malawi Ministry of Education on a projectin Malawian primary schools with no access to electricity or WiFi. This app is one of many in Chichewa to teach numeracy, literacy and basic health and to provide essential resources for teachers.

Previouspilot schemesproved that interactive learning on handheld devices is effective in classrooms; even children that have never seen this technology are able to pick up how to use one of our apps in a matter of minutes.

We believe that the combination of increasingly affordable technology alongside apps in the local language of the user can transform learning throughout the world.
