Technology Drive for impoverished kids in Ethiopia

Thank you to everyone's support of our initiative to open up a digital library in Ethiopia. During the summer of 2022, we were able to launch the library with all of the devices we collected. Located in the Woreda 09 district, we were able to work with the youth administration officials to open up the library inside of their center, where students already to congregate to study and have fun. This digital library will now be the first ever digital library open in the 113 youth administration centers across the capital of Addis Ababa, a monumental first step to closing the digital divide for students in Ethiopia. We are super excited for this launch and will begin tracking the number of students using the library per month. We hope to open up more around the capital soon. We ask that anyone who is inspired to continue to support our cause through donating, sharing, and promoting our work.

Currently, we are nearing the grand opening of our Research Library for underprivileged children in Ethiopia. During 2022, we have collected approximately 2,000 books around the metro Atlanta area for our library. In addition, we have won $1,000 in grants to purchase additional equipment for our library. We plan on using the funds we have won from fundraising efforts for supplies such as security, tables, and chairs necessary for the library. We are still undergoing additional fundraising programs to raise money for additional devices and supplies for the library, and we are proud to say that the library is set to open this summer in 2022. After the grand opening, we will continue to fundraise to supplement the library and maintain/improve its quality. We will continue to update our supporters on the progress being made and where we will be soon to come.
