Our Story "Are rutaneng"

At Dithutong, we connect Botswana’s learners and instructors through flexible, skill-building online courses rooted in local language, culture, and goals.

We believe in the power of sharing knowledge to grow careers, start businesses, and uplift communities.

Join our community-driven eLearning platform and “A re rutaneng” — let’s teach and learn together as we thrive.

“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”

— Hosea 4:6 (NIV)

At Dithutong, we believe that when knowledge is shared, communities thrive. That’s why we’ve built a local platform where every Motswana can learn, teach, and grow — because ignorance is costly, but education is empowering.

WHO WE ARE

At Dithutong, we are Botswana’s first locally-built online learning marketplace, designed to connect learners and instructors through culturally relevant, skill-focused education.

We are more than a platform — we are a movement to grow Botswana’s knowledge economy.

Our name means “learning place”, and that’s what we’ve built: a safe, accessible space where anyone can learn, teach, and earn from what they know.

Whether you’re a student, a professional, or simply curious — Dithutong is for you.

WHAT WE DO

We help Batswana learn new skills and monetize their knowledge through self-paced online courses, all tailored to our local context.

Here’s how we do it:

  • Offer self-paced courses in business, tech, creative skills, and more

  • Empower instructors to create and sell online courses from anywhere

  • Provide a growing Shop with books, resources, and local learning tools

  • Share insights and updates on our blog to guide your learning journey

  • Support local languages, flexible pricing, and Botswana-relevant topics
