Trusted by learners across Zambia
Built for African learners
Umweka Academy was founded with one simple belief: every Zambian student deserves access to the same quality of education as anyone else in the world. We saw students in Lusaka, Ndola, Livingstone, and beyond struggling to access quality study materials and structured learning β and we decided to change that.
The name Umweka comes from a Bemba word meaning "to place" or "to set down" β representing our commitment to placing knowledge within reach of every learner across Africa.
Today we serve students from nursery through to university, working professionals, corporate teams, and institutions β all on one secure, beautifully designed platform.
Our Core Values
Accessibility
We believe education is a right, not a privilege. Our platform is designed to work on any device, even on slow connections.
Security
We protect our instructors' intellectual property with enterprise-grade DRM, encrypted streaming, and dynamic watermarking.
Excellence
Every course, every feature, every pixel is crafted to the highest standard β comparable to Coursera, Udemy, and MasterClass.
African Focus
We support local payment methods (Airtel Money, MTN MoMo), local languages, and African academic curricula including ECZ.
Community
Learning is better together. Discussion forums, peer groups, live classes, and instructor Q&A make Umweka a true learning community.
Growth
From nursery to professional development β we grow with our learners through every stage of their educational journey.
