APC Grants 2020 – We were able to partner with Rhizomatica and their partner APC to give grants to 5 projects to support them in realizing their goals in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
BlinkNow – BlinkNow works in the community in Surkhet, Nepal. We made a financial contribution that provided their school with WiFi and laptops for the school administrators.
EduMais – We are working with EduMais to create privacy lessons for underprivileged children and teenagers in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. These lessons will supplement the curriculum EduMais already provides and will create awareness for digital privacy.
Rhizomatica and Kara Solar – We made a financial contribution that enabled Rhizomatica and Kara Solar to connect 2 of the 12 indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon to their radio network.
War Child – One of War Child’s programs is Can’t Wait to Learn. This program offers children the opportunity to learn to read and count through playing educational games played on tablet devices. Our financial contribution provided more tablets for the program.
