Two FINCA investee companies\u00a0offer a practical look\u00a0into\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0necessary\u00a0to\u00a0support AI success\u00a0in\u00a0clinics and classrooms.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Africa AI Village<\/a> held in conjunction with the 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, a familiar refrain echoed across panels: Africa trails the world in AI computing power and must catch up by building local data centers and AI models. The statistic was clear \u2014 Africa accounts for less than 1%<\/a> of global data center capacity \u2014 and so was the implied roadmap: Hardware first; everything else later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that\u2019s not the story we hear from the companies we work with every day. FINCA\u2019s impact investing arm, FINCA Ventures<\/a>, backs companies across Sub-Saharan Africa that are already running AI\u2011enabled business models without waiting for a new generation of local supercomputers. Their experience suggests that the question isn\u2019t how Africa can catch up on computing capacity but rather what actually enables AI to work in the contexts where it\u2019s needed most. And that it\u2019s time to reframe the investment narrative around how to support AI applications that are creating real value across the continent today<\/em>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding patterns are already pointing in this direction. Partech\u2019s 2025 Africa Tech VC report<\/a> shows investors directing capital to businesses applying AI within essential services like health and education, where improvements in delivery and productivity are already visible. The momentum is behind tools and systems that make AI usable in clinics, classrooms, and daily workflows, not large, up-front infrastructure projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a clear picture of what this looks like on the ground, we spoke with two of our portfolio companies: Penda Health<\/a> and Rising Academies<\/a>, both of which are successfully leveraging AI within the constraints that define African markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The View From the Front Lines<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m quite bullish on what AI can do,\u201d says Robert Korom, Chief Medical Officer at Penda Health, which partnered with OpenAI to build an AI-powered clinician copilot<\/a> to support its network of 24\u2011hour primary care clinics in Nairobi. \u201cWe use it across the business \u2014 from clinical decision assistance, to patient engagement over WhatsApp, to internal operations \u2014 because it helps us deliver better care with the staff and resources we have,\u201d he explains.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising Academies, an education company operating in West and East Africa, takes a similarly practical approach with two AI-enabled tools powered by Anthropic\u2019s Claude models<\/a>. Rori, a virtual math tutor, offers bite\u2011sized lessons, practice exercises, and personalized feedback for students, while Tari provides teachers with structured guidance and daily instructional resources. Both are designed with lightweight interfaces and optimized for the realities of low-bandwidth connectivity and shared devices.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this requires an AI supercomputer sitting next door. \u201cAI is almost unique in how little local infrastructure it requires,\u201d Robert notes. \u201cA community health worker with a low\u2011cost smartphone can plug into an API. The processing happens in a data center somewhere else, and the value shows up on the phone in her hand.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do<\/em> these companies need to be able to use AI even more effectively? This is what they told us: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power First, Always<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reliable electricity is the operating baseline: the thing that keeps healthcare centers open and school systems online long enough for any digital tool to matter. And its absence multiplies the cost and complexity of deploying AI in clinics and classrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery facility needs a big generator. That\u2019s upfront capital and a daily operational headache,\u201d Robert explains. \u201cIt\u2019s not that the barrier is insurmountable \u2014 it just makes everything more expensive.\u201d Generators are also noisy and polluting, adding to their undesirability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNDP has framed universal energy access<\/a> as a prerequisite for any meaningful AI future in Africa, noting that 50% of the population currently doesn\u2019t have reliable electricity. They make the case plainly, noting \u201cYou cannot build intelligent systems on unstable grids; but the inverse is equally true: build AI-ready infrastructure, and you accelerate development on every front.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity That Doesn\u2019t Blink<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity has improved across much of Sub\u2011Saharan Africa<\/a>, but for companies using AI in daily operations, dependability still matters more than raw coverage. Even brief interruptions can derail applications intended to support day-to-day service delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising Academies has designed its systems with that reality in mind. Rather than assuming stable network availability, the company builds for intermittent connections. \u201cWe design responsibly for limited bandwidth and low\u2011cost use, pairing a simple front end with a high\u2011tech back end,\u201d explains CEO Stephanie Dobrowolski. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NextBillion has also argued that connectivity cannot be treated separately from energy. Its concept of connected power<\/a> recognizes that networks depend on electricity just as much as electricity projects increasingly depend on digital demand. When the two are planned together, infrastructure is more durable and service delivery more reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitized Records That Sync<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AI tools only add value if frontline records are consistently digital and updateable in daily workflows. In Africa, many of the basic social systems are still largely analog, meaning the raw material that AI needs to be useful often exists only on paper or not at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Penda first launched, patient histories were paper-based, fragmented, and inconsistent across clinics. Rather than immediately deploying AI tools, the company spent years digitizing basic workflows, training staff to record data consistently, and ensuring records synced reliably network-wide. Only then could Penda layer in AI to support decision\u2011making, automate follow\u2011ups, and improve clinic operations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brookings\u2019s Foresight Africa 2025-2030 report<\/a> underscores that AI delivers value only when usable, well\u2011captured data exists<\/a>; without it, AI remains disconnected from last-mile service delivery. Policies promoting standardized, digital record-keeping across essential sectors like health and education would spare each provider from having to repeat Penda\u2019s years-long digitization effort and free companies to focus on scaling their impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Success Looks Like<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The experiences of Penda Health and Rising Academies point to where AI ultimately matters most in Africa: at the last mile, on basic phones, and inside routine workflows. That\u2019s where practical use is growing, and where the impact is clearest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture a teacher in Sierra Leone preparing a lesson. Despite the school\u2019s faulty connection, she opens Tari on WhatsApp, snaps a photo from her teacher’s guide, and gets a set of differentiated exercises tailored to her students\u2019 ability levels. Once the work is completed, she snaps more photos, and Tari gives her a clear sense of where the class needs support, helping her adjust tomorrow\u2019s lesson with confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or a nurse in Nairobi guiding a patient through triage on her phone. Penda\u2019s decision support suggests a pathway, a follow\u2011up message is scheduled automatically, and the data goes into an electronic health record instead of a paper folder. The primary internet service falters, the backup link catches, and the clinic keeps moving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These scenes are not hypothetical. They\u2019re the frontier where AI is already creating value on the continent \u2014 despite thin infrastructure \u2014 because founders designed for the conditions that actually exist. And they\u2019re the opportunities where investors can help write the next chapter of Africa\u2019s AI success story. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
