Providing a high-quality and full education is obligatory for developing countries in Africa and other continents of our planet. Only educated people can find a place in this world, choose a career path and ensure a happy future for themselves and their families. Young people in developing countries face numerous challenges, such as poverty, lack of learning opportunities, low-paid jobs, etc. That’s why universities and organizations from worldwide gather to solve these problems because only mutual efforts can overcome the challenges. They offer scholarships for these students that let them enter leading universities in Europe, Asia, or the USA and also develop eLearning solutions. Those based on Kwiga turn out to be the most effective ones. Online learning is more convenient, cheaper, and is sometimes even more effective than learning in the classroom. Students who live in developed countries more and more often use distance learning instead of attending college every day, so that it’s reasonable to introduce such online courses in developing countries.

Providing a high-quality and full education is obligatory for developing countries in Africa and other continents of our planet. Only educated people can ensure a happy future for themselves and their families. eLearning is one of the best opportunities for these countries. However, some people tend to think that distance education equals low-quality one. It’s not true because teachers are always in touch and professional writing help is available 24/7. The secret of success is to choose a reliable helper and have a strong desire to study. Experts and editors can do homework, explain a complex discipline, and help a student master any subject.
