The Digital Tree of Knowledge
An African tree. A human finger-print. A digital motherboard. These are three significant symbols in our story. Our logo combines all three into one, symbolising the power of access to digital education to transform the lives of young people in rural African communities.
An African Tree: Terabytus Digitata.
Inspired by the ancient baobab, under the tree so much happens: Story-telling, community-building, the passing on of knowledge, folklore and traditions and of course, learning. Our tree speaks to our heritage – a teacher and her two students out in the African bush learning under a tree. Our tree is a place for learning and sharing – a wireless connection to knowledge. Its where ancient wisdom meets new digital knowledge.

A Human Finger-Print.
In this digital world, your finger and finger print can open up a world of possibilities, ideas, and creativity. This represents the opportunity we give learners, and the choice they make to show up every day to learn and change their trajectory. It also represents the story of the individual human. Digital is amazing, but equally important is the human touch.
A Digital Motherboard.
The nodes of the motherboard symbolise the Fourth Industrial Revolution* and our effort to give a gateway to all people to be part of it. Digital is one of the key languages of access and exclusion from it is not an option.
Reimagine Education With Us
Decentralised Philanthropy
Instead of extracting value from users, Web 3.0 networks capture value by creating opportunities for them instead. In this way, Web 3.0 protocols turn the economic incentive structure of today’s internet on its head so that more people can participate.
We are connecting two worlds by inviting delegators to stake with us so that a portion of all Indexer rewards and query fees generated for the from delegations can be used to fund the GWF and its access academies.
This allows delegators to earn rewards from their delegations and also be partners in developing digital literacy in Africa, to train the next generation of web3 builders. We call it DePhi.
“Index Africa’s DePhi Model supports the GWF by contributing a portion of all Indexer rewards in a sustainable funding mechanism known as DePhi.”
