Background:

<aside> 📌 Dost Education’s vision is to turn every home into a learning center by giving parents tools to support their child’s early development and lifelong learning. Dost empowers parents to take charge of their child's early education by creating short, friendly audio content that is sent to them via their mobile phones. Along with this focus on early education, they support the family as a whole through the parents’ mental health and emotional-social well being.
