About Ebingwa

Free school management system for Kenyan schools—built by developers, gifted to every classroom.

EBingwa is a free school management system for Kenyan schools. We exist because we believe modern tools should not be a luxury. We build and maintain a single workspace that unites teachers, guardians, administrators, and learners across Kenya—without invoices, fine print, or usage limits.

Why it’s free

Free forever—by design.

EBingwa is built and maintained by developers giving back to the education community. We do not charge license fees, we do not sell school data, and we do not lock features behind tiers.

  • 70% of operating spend goes directly into product, security, and support so classrooms feel the improvement immediately.
  • We never monetise school data or lock modules behind tiers; every release lands in every workspace on day one.
  • We prioritise schools that are underserved or underfunded to make sure leadership teams, students, and pupils share the same opportunities.
Our Story

Born from staffroom conversations, refined with every community we serve.

The first version of Ebingwa lived on teachers’ phones in Nairobi and Kisumu. We sat through timetable scrambles, fee reconciliation marathons, and endless WhatsApp threads. Every pain point became a feature request. Every request became a design sprint with the people who would use it.

The platform now orchestrates admissions, CBC assessments, transport, finance, and communication in one place for schools across Kenya. It still honours our founding promise: give the education community a premium operating system—free forever—so every Kenyan school, student, and pupil competes on a fair playing field.

Built for Kenya

School management software designed for Kenyan educators.

EBingwa understands the realities of running a school in Kenya—from CBC curriculum tracking and fee collection to guardian communication and transport management. Our platform speaks your language, respects your workflow, and scales with your growth.

CBC-ready from day one

Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum demands flexible assessment tools, clear learning outcomes, and meaningful reporting. EBingwa provides templates aligned with CBC guidelines, rubric-based grading, and reports that principals and parents can trust. No spreadsheets, no late-night data entry—just a system that supports what teachers already do.

Banks, cash, and cheques—all in one place

School fee collection in Kenya often means bank deposits, cash, and cheques. EBingwa reconciles them all: bulk payment matching, receipt generation, and deficit tracking. Finance teams spend less time chasing records and more time supporting learners.
