Our Story
The sudden occurrence of the COVID-19 (CoronaVirus) pandemic, took the world aback, and Africa was caught unawares as usual. The demands for social distancing and others met Africa in the cross-roads and we simply asked ourselves, a specific question in the area of Education; what will the students do? How will they continue to learn when African countries cannot boast of advanced systems through which students could comfortably pursue their studies online, meet their teachers and carry on with their academic work unperturbed. And so we set out to answer this challenge in Education and so came up with this project not only to solve the urgency of now, but to put up a stable system for the future. This is how the idea of the Ubuntu Online University Project was born in the remote village of Mattmar in Sweden. It is a project not only for Africa, but for Africans all over the world and indeed for anyone anywhere in the world.
