Transforming Early Childhood Development
We're on a mission to empower ECD centers with technology that works for their unique needs and challenges.
Our Story
Edmin Connect was born from a vision to transform early childhood development in South Africa through technology. Our founder, Bongani Radebe, has dedicated the past 10 years of his life to the tech-space and business.
With a diverse background in various tech disciplines, Bonagni has honed his expertise in innovative solutions and digital transformation. His journey in the tech space has equipped him with a deep understanding of the industry's evolving landscape, enabling him to navigate challenges and seize opportunities effectively.
In 2020, recognizing the technological gaps in South Africa's education sector, Bonagni assembled a team of education specialists and technology experts with deep understanding of the South African context to create a solution specifically designed for local ECD centers – and Edmin Connect was born.
Driven by a passion for leveraging technology to drive meaningful change and enhance user experiences, Bonagni and the Edmin Connect team are committed to empowering ECD centers across South Africa with tools that improve outcomes for children, reduce administrative burdens, and strengthen the early childhood development sector.
Our Mission & Values
We're guided by a deep commitment to improving early childhood development in South Africa
Accessibility
We believe that all ECD centers, regardless of resources or location, deserve access to quality management tools. That's why we've built solutions that work offline and are affordable for centers of all sizes.
Local Context
We understand the unique challenges and requirements of ECD centers. Our platform is built specifically for the local context, including NCF alignment, subsidy tracking, and multilingual support.
Child-Centered
Everything we do is focused on improving outcomes for children. By reducing administrative burdens and providing better developmental tracking tools, we help ECD practitioners focus more time and energy on the children in their care.
Our Impact
Since our launch, Edmin Connect has made a significant impact on early childhood development across South Africa:
- Supporting over 30 schools nationwide
- Helping track the development of more than 25,000 children
- Saving ECD practitioners an average of 10 hours per week on administrative tasks
- Improving parent engagement with 85% of parents regularly accessing developmental updates through our platform
- Working with 50+ rural centers with limited connectivity through our offline-first approach
We're proud of what we've accomplished, but we're just getting started. Our vision is to support every ECD center in South Africa with tools that improve outcomes for children, reduce administrative burdens, and strengthen the early childhood development sector.
