Empowering The World With News You Can Trust
We combine the power of technology with the integrity of human researchers to deliver a free news service you can trust.
Expanding Our Empowerment Mission
Alison's mission is to empower the world for free, through free knowledge & learning, upskilling, self-awareness, recruitment, free group learning and now, by launching our global news service.
How Our News Service Works
Working with enthusiastic research teams across continents, Alison identifies the most important stories using modern technology and AI. Our goal is to report verified facts through concise, human-reviewed summaries. Our short news summaries lay out the facts, (the ”W’s!), the What, Where, When, Why (and How!).
Alison News Summaries link to longer, more detailed articles on approved third party sites. We constantly review these platforms and individual articles for accuracy. These articles may include bias. We counter bias by allowing our readers comment on articles.
We are launching first across Africa, offering free news updates on Politics, Business, Culture & Arts, Science & Tech with greater geographical coverage and more categories coming as our service expands.
Why Trust Alison?
For over 20 years, Alison has been a trusted social enterprise empowering millions of learners across Africa and beyond. With over 50 million users, we remain dedicated to providing accessible, reliable, and independent education and information you can trust.
Trusted, Verified, And Always Free
Every story we publish is fact-checked by our researchers across 54 African countries, verified through multiple references, and supported by open-source links and images.
Stay informed with short, factual weekly news summaries — delivered free to your inbox and your choices of messaging app.
