With population numbers projected to double by 2050, Africa faces a dire lack of educational resources for its youth.
Let’s help fix that.
Wealth inequality.
The median salary in Gondar, Ethiopia is $199 USD a month. This makes it virtually impossible for the average citizen to purchase laptops/smartphones which would help advance their children’s education.
Research.
A study in 2001 shows that 94% of American students (12-17) use the internet for school research. The numbers have likely increased since then. If we want to cultivate a culture of equality, we have to get as close to the starting line as possible. Primary school education is that line.
