Mission Statement
Our mission is to spread the knowledge and promote the usage of computers among the underprivileged youths and help transform the trandiional mode of instruction through technology-aided education.
Description
The objective of this organization is to promote computer literacy and technology-aided learning for the underprivileged youth in Bangladesh. There are children in Bangladesh that have never seen a computer or had any access to the internet and through our efforts we have successfully set up 350+ learning centers and digital classrooms throughout rural Bangladesh. To date, over a 120,000 students have graduated through the programs we have set up over the last 14 years. Our goal is to help alleviate the digital divide that exists between developing/developed nations with societies that have less access to technology and resources. We are continuously looking to scale our efforts not only in Bangladesh, but throughout other parts of the world as well.
