The power of technology in slums during COVID-19

By Erika Narkiewicz | Digital Fundraiser

Girls using donated phones for online study
Girls using donated phones for online study

With the global pandemic, circumstances in the slums of Pune continue to be harsh. Yet with assistance from your support, 90 girls aged 15-16 are benefitting from online learning through the use of mobile phones. Students with WiFi access in their slums are being supplied with phones. We are supporting our partners to ensure that these young people are not further disadvantaged at this time. 

Most students required support in learning how to use these phones, but after initial socially-distanced tutorials, they are able to access their regular lessons, until their schools are able to re-open. While this doesn't address the challenges of the mixing their home and study environment, it ensures that students' learning can continue.  

Your donations help ensure that no child is left behind. Thank you for your support. 

With gratitude,

Erika Narkiewicz
