Project 1M
Open to Public & Private Secondary Schools1 Million AI-Ready Educators & Students.
Project 1M is Kini AI's education initiative to equip teachers and students across Africa with the skills, tools, and confidence to use AI — safely, responsibly, and practically in the classroom.
About
What is Project 1M?
Project One Million helps schools adopt AI through a simple framework: Assess → Train → Support. We train educators to use AI to teach better and save time, equip students with AI literacy and responsible use habits, and help schools implement practical AI policies — all designed to work even in low-tech environments.
The Vision
Africa's classrooms are at a turning point. AI is reshaping every industry — but most teachers and students have never been taught how to use it. Project 1M exists to close that gap before it widens, starting with Nigeria and scaling across the continent.

Individual Educator Enrolment →The Ripple Effect
One Teacher Trained. Thousands Reached.
We activate schools as community hubs. By training educators, we trigger a three-stage ripple effect that multiplies impact.
The Educator
We train teachers to use AI to reduce their administrative workload — lesson notes, grading, reports — and improve how they teach.
The Student
Trained teachers guide students to ethically use AI for learning and creativity — building a generation of future-ready talent.
The Community
AI-ready schools inspire surrounding communities — parents, local leaders, and nearby institutions — creating demand for digital literacy and positioning schools as centres of innovation.
More Than Just Training
When you join Project 1M, you join a movement.
Official Certification
Recognised credentials for your CV and professional portfolio.
Community Access
Peer groups to share prompts, wins, and challenges with educators across Africa.
Ongoing Support
Monthly resource updates, virtual office hours, and mentorship.
Low-Tech Friendly
Works on a basic smartphone. No laptop or reliable internet required.
A Proven Model
Cascade training works. The data proves it.
Reaching 1 million doesn't require training 1 million people directly. It requires training Lead Teachers who each cascade to peers, who each reach hundreds of students.
We're not inventing a growth model. We're applying the proven standard — with AI at the centre.
