Meet our
Founder Alex
Milani Education was founded by Alexandra Lutz, a Grade 9 pupil at the time, during the COVID-19 hard lock-down of 2020. This was a time when the inequality of South Africa’s educational system was highlighted and further worsened as schools temporarily closed.
Only a small minority of students had access to digital learning resources where the vast majority of students had no access to online learning at all. This resulted in several months and now years of irreplaceable learning time being lost. Milani was founded as a simple idea to share existing learning content with a few students in need, and has now grown into an online platform providing a library of resources to thousands of students at the click of a button.
