A New Recognition for Kamkalima

On March 16, 2022, Kamkalima, one of IM Capital's portfolio companies, received the UN-ESCWA Digital Arabic Content Award for Sustainable Development in the Arab region.

“We are honored to have supported over 100,000 learners and teachers across the Arab region over the past few years. On this journey, we invite teachers and education leaders to become partners in our mission. With scale, we can impact 50 million children and young people in the region to achieve better proficiency not only in their mother tongue, but in reading the world more critically and more compassionately,” said Nisrine El Makkouk, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Kamkalima.

Additional Features to Advance Reading Skills

Kamkalima is excited to launch its text-highlight feature. In addition to the auditory texts in the library that students can listen to, students can now follow along with the text highlighter for more precise reading.
