No lesson planning tools. No curriculum guidance. No AI assistant. No budget. Many are teaching 100 students at a time in urban schools — or 30 in rural communities — with a single textbook, if they're lucky.
Teacher Pehpeh changes that equation. It's not just AI-powered — it's a dedicated device built around Teacher Pehpeh, IBT's purpose-built teaching assistant. When a teacher asks a question, Teacher Pehpeh queries Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini simultaneously — then surfaces the best, most contextually relevant answer for Liberian classrooms, WASSCE curriculum, and real underresourced teaching conditions. Three AI engines. One device. One teacher. Hundreds of students.
HOW YOUR MONEY IS USED
When a teacher taps a question into Teacher Pehpeh, it fires that query to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini at the same time — in the background, invisibly. The teacher gets one powerful, contextualised answer drawn from all three. Here is exactly where every dollar goes.
A purpose-built Android device pre-loaded with Teacher Pehpeh. Sourced locally at cost. Lasts 3+ years. This is the hardware that puts three AI engines in a teacher's pocket.
Every query simultaneously hits Claude ($3.60/mo), ChatGPT ($2.55/mo), and Gemini ($1.27/mo). ~30 teaching queries per school day — lesson plans, WASSCE prep, parent letters — answered by three models at once.
This covers what makes the device stick: hands-on teacher onboarding ($25), ongoing IBT tech support ($18/yr), and a small share of organisational costs — fundraising, admin, and keeping IBT running ($12/yr). We show this openly because we believe you deserve to know.

Before Teacher Pehpeh, IBT built its foundation one lab, one student, and one partnership at a time. These campaigns shaped who we are.
Serving 600 students per year — bus rides, daily snacks, hands-on STEM mentorship, and celebrating seniors who passed West African regional exams.
An ESL educator who spent years teaching in Vietnam and Virginia. IBT's reading center — The Tim Krecke Literacy Centre — honors his legacy and helps hundreds of students improve reading and writing comprehension.
A 2-year pilot that opened the school's first ever computer lab. 32 seniors passed WAEC exams and graduated. The demand grew so large IBT moved to a larger independent facility to serve multiple schools.
