Fasaha · Hausa for technology
Technology that speaks your language.
Fasaha Tech builds research, software tools, and digital services that bring computing to people in the languages they think in — starting with Hausa.
What we do
One home for all of it
The learning platform is live today. Research, tools, and services are on the way — each page shows what will live there.
LiveLittafin Fasaha
Our learning platform teaches computer science in Hausa — an original textbook, a pioneering technical vocabulary, and interactive courses, live today.
Visit the platform ↗Research
How people learn computing in their first language, the Hausa technical lexicon, and what we measure when we put it in classrooms.
See what’s coming →Software Tools
Open tools for language-first computing — from the lexicon itself to an AI instructor that runs on open-source models.
See what’s coming →Digital Services
Localization, curriculum design, and training for organizations that need technology education to work in African languages.

Language is not a barrier to computing. It is the interface.
Most computing education assumes learners already think in English. Before a student can reason about a loop, they must translate the word, the syntax, and the explanation. We redesign that interface — beginning with Hausa, a language of roughly 94 million people with no standard technical vocabulary for computing until now.
