Indulge me a little for some early-morning insomniac-entrepreneur rambling.

This month, I've been reflecting heavily on our journey at Fundi Bots and as always, I lean pragmatic optimist.

It has been a tough year (so far) with a lot of funding rejections, missed targets due to resource constraints and constant navigation of culture alignment and employee satisfaction in a rapidly growing organization.

The data shows us the places we need to constantly improve: team wellbeing and purpose; design and prototyping speed; technical and leadership skills; operational efficiencies for minimal cost per beneficiary and; long-term fiscal resilience.

But it's also been incredibly rewarding to see our work grow and evolve in such positively unexpected ways.
This year alone, Fundi Bots has so far provided transformational science education and support for almost 19,000 students in Uganda (and about 400 students in KE & TZ).

Education that is miles ahead of what they were getting before - and yet not even close to our true dream for Africa's future.
