South Africa’s EdTech Startup Snapplify Launches Teacha! Marketplace for East Africa

Snapplify, a South African edtech solutions platform has launched Teacha! a marketplace where teachers can buy and sell their teaching resources.

The company started operations in Kenya in 2016 and has managed to bring on board several East African schools and individual teachers.

Speaking during the launch of Teacha! Engagement Specialist Lilian Nyaranga, said, “There is a great need for CBC resources in Kenya at the moment and this is an enormous opportunity – not only for Kenya’s teachers to sell resources they’ve already created and earn extra income but also for thousands of teachers to find the curriculum-aligned resources they need.”
