Apply for your card

Takes about 15 minutes · No payment details, ever

Works with no internet Swahili & English Ages 6–12

What the card holds

Everything a class needs, already on it

Nothing to download, nothing to set up. Put the card in a phone and the whole library opens — the same on the first day as on a day the power has been out since morning.

Scripture they can read

Swahili and English, plus other Kenyan languages where a translation exists.

Audio Bible

For the children still learning to read — and for the ones who never will.

Gospel films

Made for a young audience, not adult teaching handed down to children.

Lessons for teaching

Structured children's material a teacher can take straight into a class.

Why one card is enough

It copies.

children reached from a single card in one teacher's hand

The library copies from one phone to another with no internet at all. One card in a staff room becomes every teacher's phone by the end of the week — and the children go on hearing it long after the lesson ends.

Before you spend time on this

What we send, and what your school already has

We would rather be plain with you now than have you plan around something that is not coming.

What we send you

A microSD card carrying the full offline library, loaded for your pupils' languages
An SD card adapter, so the card fits a phone, a reader, or a computer

What the school provides

A phone, tablet, or computer to read the card — one teacher's phone is enough to begin
A television or projector, if you want to show films to a whole class or assembly
Speakers, power, and anything else a larger showing needs

We are not able to send equipment or funding at this stage. The card is genuinely where this starts — schools that begin with one teacher's phone and add a screen later are the ordinary path, not the exception.

Who we are looking for

Is this your school?

Children aged 6 to 12 are in your care regularlyWeek after week — a school, a children's church programme, an orphanage, or a community learning centre.
You are in KenyaThis funnel is for Kenyan schools. Elsewhere in the world, apply through our main application instead.
A named person appliesA head teacher, programme coordinator, pastor, or school director — someone answerable for the children. Not a general enquiry address.
Registration is not requiredA children's programme run out of a church is as welcome as a registered academy. We do need to know who you are and who vouches for you.

After you apply

You will hear from Laura

She handles every application personally. She is our receptionist, and she is the person you will deal with from here.

1
She reads your application
Usually within a few days. If something is missing or does not quite add up, she writes and asks — she will not leave your file sitting in silence.
2
She verifies your ministry
A referee, your identification, your school or pastoral credentials, and photographs of your work. If sending documents would put you or your community at risk, say so on the form — you will verify through two referees and your conversation instead.
3
You speak with her
Twenty minutes or so about your school and your pupils, by WhatsApp, phone, or video, at a time that suits you. Everyone we send to speaks with Laura first. There is nothing to prepare.
4
Your card is posted
Loaded for your pupils' languages and sent to the address you gave her. She will not promise a date she cannot keep, and she will tell you plainly where things stand.

Before you ask

Questions we get

Does it really cost nothing?

Nothing. The card and the adapter are given, not sold. There is no subscription, nothing to renew, and we will never ask you for payment details.

Can we copy the card?

Yes, and we hope you do. Once it reaches you the library copies onto other phones with no internet — that is how one card reaches a whole staff room instead of one teacher.

Our school has no internet at all.

That is exactly what this is for. Nothing on the card needs a connection — not to open it, not to read it, not to play the films.

What if we have no projector or television?

You do not need one. A single phone is enough to begin, and most schools start exactly there. A screen makes assemblies easier later, but it is never a requirement.

Why do you need my identification?

Because these cards go to children, and we verify every ministry we send to. If sharing documents would be unsafe where you are, tick the box on the form — two referees and your conversation with Laura take their place, and nobody will ask you for papers again.

How long does it take?

The application takes about fifteen minutes. After that it depends on how quickly we can verify your ministry and find a time to talk. Laura will keep you told rather than leaving you guessing.

Your pupils could have the whole Bible by next term

One card, one phone, and a class that can hear the Word in the language they actually speak. Tell us about your school and we will take it from there.
