About VIBRANIUM RESOURCES
At VIBRANIUM RESOURCES we follow a wholistic, top-to-bottom approach to supporting education. The firm is structured around a core research, consulting and training department, and five further wings carry that work out into the world: publishing, tutoring, communications, travel and a scholarship programme.
We have worked with schools, universities, ministries, and the local and diaspora community. Our strength is our passion for education and a vibrant team of dreamers, world-class researchers, developers and graphic designers, alongside communication and project managers.

What we do
Foundation programmes
Research and community service — the two wings of VIBRANIUM RESOURCES FOUNDATION.
-
VIBRANIUM RCT
Research, consulting and training: the core of the firm. We put data and research to work on the questions that matter to our society, and bring high-quality research methods to postgraduate students, professionals and institutions. We work with the organisations that own data and build data infrastructure, so that it can be used to identify gaps, support decisions and evaluate the impact of policy.
-
VIBRANIUM Scholarship
Our community-service wing. The scholarship supports female secondary school students, and a few further students with outstanding results, by linking a school's alumni back to it: each alumnus contributes pocket money of 250 birr a month for a year plus a one-off 1,000 birr book voucher. It gives alumni a way to give back, and the students a lasting connection.
Our method
How we work
From a question to something that changes, in three steps.
Start from the data
We work with the organisations that hold data and build the infrastructure around it, so that it can be used to identify gaps, support decisions, and monitor and evaluate the impact of policy.
Build the skills
We introduce high-quality research methods to postgraduate students, professionals and institutions through short courses, pre-conference workshops and continuous coaching — drawing on what our team learned working abroad.
Put it back into the community
Findings turn into books, tutorials, talks and scholarships. We campaign for data use in research, for awareness of data privacy, and for policies on data protection and governance, together with the ministries and institutions concerned.

Whether you are a school with data you have never analysed, a postgraduate student stuck on methods, an institution that needs a training designed around its own problems, or a student looking for a tutor — we would like to hear from you.
