…150 million people in Africa currently carries a
smartphone with web access…with 50 million added every year…
…1 in 8 of these people has an English reading vocabulary below that of an average 14-year old…
…online real-time translation of local languages are hugely deficient
(of the 64 languages Google translates into today, none of the 16 largest
languages in Africa – spoken by over 300 million people – are included)…

– and many hundreds of millions of people worldwide

web English into any level of vocabulary set by the user…
…Gatfol empowers severely challenged readers (down to a bare 200 word vocabulary)
with an instant active vocabulary of that of a university graduate (over 20 000 words)…
…the web can change the world…
…Gatfol makes it possible…
