Trending campaign · 2026

Help us finish the lab corridor upgrades

Storm damage and a growing cohort mean our computer lab and library need a stronger, weather-proof corridor. Every gift keeps students learning through the rainy season and beyond.

A weather-proof corridor so floods no longer close the lab
Safe, dry storage for donated computers and books
More study space for the growing after-school cohort

Featured story

Before the hub, I had skills but no path. Now I support a US consulting team from my village — and I mentor the next cohort.

Grace M., Murang'a County, Kenya

From village hub to remote income

Grace joined our first digital readiness cohort at a Starlink-enabled IT hub. Six months later, she earns a stable remote income and volunteers as a peer mentor.
