Built by UniHouse. Backed by Microsoft. Designed around local markets
Ostathi is a learning platform from UniHouse — a network of country-specific platforms, each built around its own curriculum, language, and labour market. Expanding across the region.
Why Ostathi exists
Most digital learning platforms apply one curriculum, one language, and one set of cultural assumptions to every market they enter.
Learners across the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia experience the gap directly: tutors who don’t know the national curriculum; trainers who don’t understand the regional labour market; platforms designed for somewhere else. Ostathi is built to close that gap — country by country, curriculum by curriculum.
What Ostathi does
Ostathi is a two-sided learning platform:
A place for learners to find tutors who teach their national curriculum or trainers who understand their regional labour market — and a place for local subject specialists to build a teaching practice on infrastructure they don’t have to build themselves. The two sides reinforce each other: the platform succeeds only when both find a counterpart they couldn’t reach alone.
For Learners: Students & Professionals
For Instructors: Tutors & Trainers
The harder approach
Ostathi operates a South-South knowledge transfer model. Each country platform is designed around the cultural, institutional, and labour market reality of its operating context — built with local educators, aligned to local curricula, grounded in the educational standards of the country it serves. The platform a learner uses in Amman is built differently from the one used elsewhere.
What sits behind Ostathi
Ostathi was built by UniHouse — an international advisory firm with two decades of work designing and measuring structured capacity development systems for governments, multilateral institutions, and global industry. UniHouse has been featured by The Daily Telegraph for digital innovation and UK export excellence, and officially recognised by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
Backed by Microsoft for Startups — Ostathi was selected by Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub for innovation in AI-powered learning and digital platform design. The platform is built on Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure.
