Want to learn more about Safaricom Education Bundle? In this post I am going to show you how you can get free 100MB Elimu Bundle for learning on Viusasa, Longhorn E-learning and Shupavu Web.
With this bundle, you have 100 MB to use as you please on any of the three platforms I have mentioned. Now that children are home you can quickly get them to enjoy the resources available online on the three platforms.
100MB may not seem much at all. But think about it this way: How many people have Safaricom lines in your house? You and your spouse? That is 200MB right there. If your children have older siblings with Safaricom lines, that is an extra 100MB per person (using Safaricom as their mobile phone service provider) in your house.
Note: This post contains affiliate links. When you click on something I recommend and purchase it, I will receive a commission for the sale – at no extra cost to you.
Your children can use the data on one device (on a tablet or laptop for example). All you have to do is use the Mobile Hotspot / Wi-Fi feature on your smartphone to share the data with them. If it is not possible, you can just hand them your smartphone for a few minutes – wajibambe waki-learn.

Other awesome educational resources for you and your family

YouTube: if you decide to buy data bundles, and maybe use Data Saver mode to make your data last long, there are so many kid-friendly channels on this website – channels where your children can have lots of fun learning new things – in line with what they were getting from school a few weeks ago – before Coronavirus / COVID-19 made it cool to use the hashtag stay home (#StayHome) … na wazae ku-realize Corona si gari tu, ni virus pia. Remember Toyota Corona cars?
Project Gutenberg: this too is another great site with lots of free ebooks on a variety of topics. Download biographies, autobiographies, textbooks, children stories and novels for yourself and your children.
