Imagine a world where education prioritizes not just knowledge, but also the well-being and dignity of every learner. This is the vision Africodia Foundation champions, and they recently took a significant step towards realizing it. They joined forces with global education leaders at the WISE 12 Summit, held in Doha from November 24-25, 2025. The event, hosted by the Qatar Foundation, brought together over 4,000 participants to explore the theme of 'Humanity.io: Human Values at the Heart of Education.'
Representing Africodia Foundation were Founder Moussa Touh and Programme Director Ms. Janet Cobbinah. Their mission? To contribute to the crucial conversation about building equitable, human-centered, and future-ready education systems across Africa. This is a critical discussion, especially as technology transforms the learning landscape.
The Summit's focus on human values is particularly resonant with Africodia's core beliefs. While embracing the potential of artificial intelligence and digital learning tools, they firmly believe that learners' dignity, well-being, and equal opportunities must remain at the forefront of educational innovation. But here's where it gets controversial... How do we balance technological advancements with the fundamental human needs of students?
WISE 12 provided a platform for rich discussions on ethical technology use in schools, exploring new pathways for future skills development, and examining how communities can build inclusive learning systems. For Africodia Foundation, this was a valuable opportunity to share African perspectives, especially the lived experiences of girls and young people in Ghana, who often face significant barriers to accessing quality education.
Africodia Foundation's participation in WISE 12 marks another milestone in their ongoing efforts to impact Africa's education landscape. They are actively working to deepen their programs and expand their reach. They are also seeking partnerships and funding support from individuals and institutions who share their vision of a more equitable and human-centered future for every African child. And this is the part most people miss... The importance of collaboration in achieving these ambitious goals.
