Els founded The Swallow in 2002, the model school where KUBO was later born. A teacher with a master in pedagogical sciences, Els moved to The Gambia in 1997 and built the school on emancipating education: health, nutrition and belonging come first, because children who are sick or hungry cannot learn. More than two decades on, The Swallow inspires schools across the country, and Els shapes the KUBO school platform with that same educational eye.

De ces salles de classe à la vôtre
KUBO est né de la salle de classe et du travail d'Afrodidact et de ses écoles partenaires. Il est ouvert par conception : chacun peut s'y joindre, construire dessus et l'apporter dans sa propre école.
Anecdote : KUBO signifie cube en espéranto. L'idée avait besoin d'un nom, et une langue neutre semblait juste. C'est aussi tout l'espéranto que nous parlons. :)
