Together with our partners, trainers, and funders, we have been able to help minimize the digital divide for nearly a decade. Without our dedicated community, this work would not have been possible!
In 2017, we helped 1,949 unique learners with the support of 179 tutors through 14,420 hours of service. And 5,986 tutoring shifts enabled 29,112 learner visits at 52 training locations. We provided 1,042 classroom training hours and distributed 598 devices. And we did all of this in five different languages.
We are extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished in the last 12 months, and we’re looking forward to making a larger impact in 2018. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect from us this year.
