Bridge the Technology Gap

  • P Project/Program

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

Following the closure of schools, the government has adopted e-learning strategies to support students and teachers. Unfortunately, many low income and rural students are unable to access these platforms. We bridge this gap by purchasing and distributing radios and tablets that facilitate access to online learning for girls. Additionally, we digitally adapt our curriculums and content so that girls can continue to access mentorship and leadership development training.
