Built with real schools, for real schools
Free school management system built with real principals and teachers. Everything you need in one place—from CBC-ready assessments that track competencies and generate reports, to automated fees & M-Pesa reconciliation, to offline-capable tools that work anywhere and sync when connected.
We started EBingwa in 2023 after watching schools in Nairobi, Eldoret, and Kisumu spend KSh 50,000+ monthly on disconnected tools that still required Excel spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. We built this with real principals, bursars, and teachers—every feature ships only after they've tested it in their actual classrooms.
It's free because we believe every school, whether in Kibera or Karen, deserves the same tools. No credit cards. No pilot fees. No "enterprise sales team." Just a platform that works.

We're educators, technologists, and mission-driven builders who believe every Kenyan primary and secondary school deserves world-class tools—regardless of budget.
Allan Njiru

I spent 3 years working with schools in Kenya before starting EBingwa. I watched principals spend entire weekends reconciling fees in Excel, and teachers lose CBC assessment data when their phones crashed. EBingwa is my answer to that frustration.

Lucy W. (Kileleni School), Peter M. (Greenhills Academy), and Joy A. (Lakeside Girls) test every feature in their actual classrooms before we release it. If it doesn't work for them, it doesn't ship.
Why We Built EBingwa
In 2022, I watched a principal in Nairobi spend her entire Saturday manually matching 400 Mpesa payments to student records in Excel. Another school lost a term's worth of CBC assessments when a teacher's phone broke. We're building EBingwa because no principal should spend weekends on data entry, and no teacher should lose student work because their phone died. Every school—whether it's a 50-student rural primary or a 2,000-student urban academy—deserves tools that actually work.

How EBingwa Stays Free
We believe transparency builds trust. Here's exactly how we keep EBingwa free for every Kenyan primary and secondary school.
Mission-Aligned Partners
Education-focused organizations and foundations fund EBingwa's core development. We work with 3 partner organizations that share our belief that school management software shouldn't cost KSh 50,000+ per month.
No strings attached—just free software for Kenyan primary and secondary schools.
Enterprise Services
Some large institutions (universities, government bodies) pay for custom features, dedicated training, and priority support. That revenue—about 30% of our funding—goes straight back into making the free version better.
Enterprise revenue funds free access for all.
Individual Donors
Teachers, principals, and education advocates who've seen EBingwa work contribute what they can. We've received donations from KSh 500 to KSh 500,000—every shilling goes to development, not salaries.
100% of donations support free access.
No Hidden Costs
EBingwa will never charge per-student fees, per-teacher fees, or hidden module costs. What you see is what you get—free, forever.
Free today, free tomorrow, free forever.
The Bottom Line
EBingwa is 100% free for Kenyan primary and secondary schools. No per-student fees (we don't even track that). No per-teacher fees. No "premium" modules locked behind paywalls. What you see is what you get—forever.
We publish our annual financial report every December. You can see exactly where the money comes from and where it goes. Transparency isn't optional for us—it's the foundation.

Four steps. No sales calls. No contracts.
You'll work directly with me (Allan) or one of our developers. No "account managers" or "success specialists"—just the people who actually build and support EBingwa.
We talk about your school: How many students? What's your biggest pain point right now? (Usually it's fee reconciliation or CBC assessments.) I take notes and send them back to you—you tell me if I got it right.
I configure EBingwa for your school: your fee structure, your transport routes, your CBC templates. Then I load sample data (fake students, fake payments) so you can click around and see exactly how it works for your context.
Your leadership team uses EBingwa for real work. I train everyone live (and record it, so new teachers can watch later). If something doesn't work, we fix it. If you hate it, you walk away—no questions asked.
We activate guardian accounts, turn on automated SMS, and you're live. You keep my WhatsApp number, email, and phone. I answer support questions myself. No ticket system, no "we'll get back to you in 48 hours."
