Teaching Computer and Data Science to Refugee Students in 20+ Countries.
MIT Emerging Talent is an effort by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create educational, professional, and entrepreneurial opportunities for talented individuals from vulnerable, underrepresented, or historically marginalized communities worldwide. The program builds upon the Refugee Action Hub (ReACT)’s work of creating global education-to-employment pathways for refugee and migrant communities.
Through this initiative, MIT brings its ideas and know-how to collaborations with educational innovators, offering digital learning courses, global networks, and career support. However, because this program is online, students cannot benefit from these opportunities without the right tools.
GiveInternet.org partners with MIT Emerging Talent to address this barrier. Once students from around the world are accepted into the program, we provide them with personal laptops wherever the maybe be - Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Ukraine, Egypt or the US. This hardware allows them to attend classes, use MIT's resources, and successfully transition into the global workforce.
How The Money is Spent?
In pursuit of transparency, we not only maintain meticulous financial records but also extend this commitment to showcasing student stories and providing visual footage. Here's where you can find all of our monthly reports, as well as all the necessary up-to-date financial statements.

Providing refugees with internet, devices, and education
Kenya
As youth unemployment persists in Kenya, we help students in Kisumu build careers in AI, web and app development, cybersecurity, and blockchain. In Kakuma's refugee camps, laptops and home internet open life-changing opportunities where formal jobs are scarce. In Nairobi, we support youth from informal settlements studying coding and front-end development. Across all regions, we empower young women and refugee girls with devices and connectivity to complete training and pursue meaningful careers.
