Created in 2018 by Kateryna Shepeliuk, who’s been working in NGO field for more than 10 years, Gifted English is an e-learning platform which intends to provide English lessons to children in Africa with no access to education.

It all started when Adolf Saint, the leader of a youth association based in Uganda, organised an entity in the Hoima District, which is helping children and teenagers – mostly orphans – get better access to proper condition of living and education, and contacted Kateryna.

She instantly decided to help by collecting information about them, creating a logo and launching a website. Adolf needed to improve his English and communication skills, so he studied a lot and is still improving everyday. Now Adolf has been able to learn about project management and NGO development.

During the process, Kateryna realised that knowing how speak and understand English is a way to get access to education through e-learning. She then came up with an idea that changed her own life and of many others.
