About
Kilele Archade is a Kenyan CBE/CBE (Competency-Based Education) digital learning platform providing learning, revision, assessment and always-on study support from Brilly for students, teachers, parents and schools.
Kilele Archade is built around the Competency-Based Curriculum, the syllabus Kenyan schools actually teach. Not a set of PDFs organised by topic — a structured curriculum that a learner, a teacher and a parent can each look at and get something different and useful from.
The public CBE library is open to everyone and needs no account. A learner's account adds revision generated from the material they are actually studying, practice quizzes, Brilly — a tutor that has read the same notes — and a record of what they have practised and what is still outstanding.
A parent linked to a child sees the same competencies from the outside, with weekly progress. A teacher generates quizzes and lesson plans aligned to the CBE, runs live classes, and tracks class mastery. A school gets visibility across a cohort rather than one child at a time.
Kilele Archade is a small team. Marvin Wanjala founded it, and Fredrick Onyango is the lead platform engineer behind its technology; both are still building it.
Chief Technology Officer & Lead Platform Engineer
Fredrick Onyango is a Kenyan software developer and software engineering student whose work focuses on software engineering, smart learning technology and technology-driven education. He is the lead platform engineer behind Kilele Archade — the chief implementer of the entire platform technology.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Marvin Wanjala is a Kenyan educator, education innovator and entrepreneur whose work focuses on teaching, digital learning, academic excellence and technology-driven education. He is the founder and CEO of Kilele Archade, where his work centres on building a learning platform that makes quality education more accessible, engaging and effective for learners across Kenya.
Kilele Archade is a web application, installable on a phone as a Progressive Web App. Accounts are separated by role — student, teacher, parent, school — and what a role can see is enforced in the database rather than only in the interface.
Payments go through M-PESA and Paystack, and a payment interrupted by a closed tab or a dropped connection is recovered by a scheduled sweep rather than left unresolved. That case is the reason the recovery job exists at all, and it is treated as a money-handling problem rather than a UI one.
