Expanding Academic Access: Our Partnership with FidelPortal

At Studio Samuel Girls Academy, we believe that education is her protection. It is the foundation that allows girls not only to stay in school, but to move forward with confidence, opportunity, and choice.

Today, we are proud to announce a new partnership with FidelPortal—an innovative AI education platform designed to support students in preparing for Ethiopia’s national exams.

For many girls across Ethiopia, the challenge is not just staying in school—it is having access to the academic tools and resources needed to succeed within it. National exams remain a critical gateway, yet too often, students lack the support required to prepare effectively. This is where meaningful partnerships matter.

Through this collaboration, Studio Samuel Girls Academy and FidelPortal are working to bridge that gap. By integrating digital academic resources with our community-based, nonformal education model, we are strengthening the academic pathways available to the girls we serve.

As we grow, partnerships like this are critical—they allow us to scale with intention, staying grounded in what our girls need and what our community values. — Tamara Horton, Founder, Studio Samuel Girls Academy

This partnership reflects a shared belief: that access to quality education should not be limited

by circumstance. It also reflects a commitment to meeting girls where they are—combining technology with trusted, on-the-ground support systems that prioritize both learning and well-being.

We are grateful to the FidelPortal team for their collaboration and shared vision. Together, we are investing in a future where every girl has the tools, knowledge, and support she needs to succeed.

Because when a girl is equipped with education, she is equipped for life.
