Say hello to the students you're supporting in Georgia and Kenya.

In Georgia, we reached students living in the mountainous Svaneti region and the occupied territory of Gali. In Kenya, we’ve partnered with Lakehub to support students in Kisumu. Now equipped with laptops and connectivity, these individuals are working toward careers in software development & engineering, and cybersecurity.
