Support Learning Lion's ICT Education Programs
Learning Lions is a non-profit organization enabling young adults in impoverished rural areas of Eastern Africa to work, and to live a life full of opportunity while remaining in their home area. The students are equipped with IT and media skills and are then encouraged to become entrepreneurs. Through selling digital services online they become self-sustaining and can even employ new cohorts of trainees. In 2015 we started off in Turkana county, North Kenya, where traditional sources of income are extremely limited due to infertile soil and poor infrastructure.
To learn more about our approach, visit our website learninglions.org or the website of our sister organizations digitallions.co and startuplions.org
Monthly donations make it possible to plan ahead and give the local community confidence in a secure future. Planning ahead includes the development of new courses in order to be able to teach our Lions upcoming and up to date ICT skills. It also means being able to increase the batch sizes and frequencies, investing in new buildings and having other long-term commitments. It gives us the freedom to try out new ways without being afraid of failing. This way we can steadily improve our systems.
One-time donation are mainly used for the acquirement of new IT equipment, payment of our teachers as well as food and housing. Additionally they are used to support the long term goals described above.
After your donation, do not forget that there is more you can do to support us. Use social media to spread the word about Learning Lions. Like us on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Post about your donation on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and any other social media platform and of course do not forget to tell your friends and family in the "real world" about us.
Asante sana! Thank you!
