AI that teaches.
Owned by all of us.

A non-profit, community-owned marketplace for responsible AI agents, built to bring quality education to underserved children and orphans.

Join mawaDaoSee how it works›

Millions of children have no access to good teachers, tutoring or learning resources. Developers everywhere are building AI agents that could close that gap. mawaDao connects the two.

Our mission

To educate underserved children and orphans using AI, through a platform that is owned by its community, governed transparently, and held to the highest standards of responsible AI.

How it works

Built by developers.
Free for every classroom.

Developers build and list agents. Schools, orphanages, educators and small businesses use them free of charge. The value flows back to the community that built it.

  1. 1

    Developers build

    AI agents for education, learning support and small-business needs, and submit them to the open marketplace.

  2. 2

    Agents are reviewed

    against our responsible AI and child-safety standards before they are made available.

  3. 3

    Schools and educators use them

    free of charge through the marketplace, alongside small businesses.

  4. 4

    Impact is recorded

    on a blockchain ledger, so contributions and outcomes are transparent and verifiable.

  5. 5

    Rewards return to the community

    Developers, reviewers, educators and local communities are recognised for the value they create.

  6. 6

    The community governs

    through a decentralised autonomous organisation operating at local, country and global level.

Key features

Accountability built in, not bolted on.

Open agent marketplace

Developers list and share agents for free. No listing fees and no platform commission on educational use.

Blockchain-linked agents

Every agent has an on-chain identity: its author, version history, review status and usage.

Community rewards

Building agents, reviewing code, translating content, reporting safety issues and supporting schools all earn recognition and rewards, paid out transparently by smart contract.

Shared ownership

Contributors become co-owners of the platform with a voice in its direction, not users of someone else's product.

Multi-level governance

Decisions are made as close as possible to the people they affect, from a single school up to the whole community.

Built for low-resource settings

Agents work on low-cost devices and limited bandwidth, and in local languages wherever possible.

Governance

Decisions made close to the people they affect.

mawaDao combines the principles of a decentralised autonomous organisation with AI. Proposals, votes and outcomes are recorded on-chain, so every decision can be traced and audited.

Level 1

Schools, orphanages, teachers, parents and local organisations

Decides

  • Which agents are used locally
  • Local content and language needs
  • How local rewards are allocated

Level 2

Country

National chapters, education partners and regional contributors

Responsible AI and child safety

Because it serves children, safety is not optional.

Every agent listed on mawaDao must meet these standards.

Safeguarding first

Agents used with children must pass child-safety review, collect no unnecessary personal data, and filter content for the age group.

Privacy by design

No personal data about children is ever stored on a public blockchain. On-chain records cover agents, contributions and aggregated impact only.

Transparency

See who built an agent, what it is designed to do, its known limitations and its full review history.

Fairness and inclusion

Agents are tested for bias and for suitability across languages, cultures and learning needs.

Human oversight

Agents support teachers and carers; they never replace them. Educators stay in control of how agents are used.

Accountability

Anyone can report a safety concern. Reports are reviewed by the community, and unsafe agents can be suspended immediately.

Who it is for

A place for everyone who wants to help.

AI developers

Make a real difference with your work, build a public portfolio, earn rewards and help own the platform you contribute to.

Schools, orphanages and educators

Free, trustworthy AI tools for tutoring, literacy, numeracy, language learning and teaching support.

Small businesses and community organisations

Practical AI agents without the cost of commercial platforms.

Funders, NGOs and partners

Transparent, verifiable evidence of where support goes and what impact it has.

Roadmap

What we're planning.

mawaDao is in its early stage. Here is the path from first agents to verifiable impact.

  1. 1

    Phase 1

    Foundation

    Core marketplace, agent manifest standard, responsible AI and safeguarding policies, and the first education agents.

  2. 2

    Phase 2

    Pilot

    Pilots with a small number of schools and orphanages. Contributor registry and reward mechanism live on testnet.

  3. 3

    Phase 3

    Governance

    DAO launch with local and country chapters. Community voting on standards and reward rules.

  4. 4

    Phase 4

    Scale

    Multi-language support, offline and low-bandwidth deployment, and expansion to small businesses and new regions.

  5. 5

    Phase 5

    Impact

    Public, verifiable impact reporting for communities, funders and partners.
