How free education stays free
Elham runs on volunteered teaching hours and on sponsorship. If you would like to help, these are the three ways that make a difference.
Teach a course
One course a year, recorded and edited by our studio. You bring a subject you know well; we handle everything else.
Volunteer to teachSponsor a scholarship
Sponsors cover the 50% examination scholarships and the cost of recording new courses. Arranged directly with us.
Talk about sponsoringBring us to a classroom
If you run a school, a community class or a training centre, we will set up free accounts for every student.

From learners who joined
“I use the Kankor mathematics course with my grade twelve girls every week. The past-paper solutions are clearer than anything I had, and my students are no longer afraid of the exam.”
Fereshta Amini
High School Teacher, Herat
“The lessons download, so I study when the electricity and the internet are gone. That one detail is the reason I was able to finish.”
Sadaf Yaqubi
Learner, Mazar-i-Sharif
“I had not been inside a classroom for two years. I started with English for Beginners on my brother’s phone, thirty minutes a day. I am now in the intermediate course and I teach my two younger sisters what I learn.”
