Services
Sprout Learning
Sprout is now offering Sprout Learning, a free WhatsApp service that is available on Whatsapp in Kenya in English.
Sprout Learning is aimed at smallholder farmers, offering rich media learning journeys via WhatsApp ranging from managing livestock & crops, to new technologies & climate smart techniques to how to access, use and manage financial services.
IMPORTANT: While Sprout Learning has been designed for farmers and other actors in the value chain, our goal is for organizations to use Sprout Learning to share with their farmers at scale. We are not targeting end-users and not marketing to end-users directly.

How Can My Organization Use Sprout Learning?

- You can send farmers directly to Sprout Learning to explore and learn. They will receive a menu based on their phone number country code.
- If your organization has WhatsApp for Business API, you may request that these menus be ported to your Whatsapp, where you can add them to your menu and edit/contextualize them for your farmers as long as you follow the content creators sharing agreement. Contact us to request content for your Whatsapp for business API menu.
