Updates
All the necessary items have been purchased, including the solar generator, the solar setup for the learning center, and the laptops.
The Almajiri students have now completed one full month of classes. The progress they are making is encouraging. The team takes things slowly, as most of the students had never seen or touched a computer before. It's amazing to see how far they’ve come, with some carrying out several tasks on their own.
The Zee Teach Foundation team onboarded the Online Safety Ambassadors. They’ve completed their training and will begin their outreach on radio in the next weeks. The Mobile Hub is up and running, and the booking website is now live. The learning center is also fully active and has started attracting students from other states who are eager to see what is happening at the foundation.
