empowermefirst.college is a non-profit aiming to make upper secondary school education accessible to millions of youths in emerging and developing countries. We offer a free online learning platform to overcome gaps created by inequality. Students learn at their own pace, using their mobile phones everywhere, at any time. They receive regular coaching with quizzes, semester assignments and from their tutors. Our focus is on STEM, entrepreneurship and ICT vocational training. Students also receive health, environmental sustainability and life skills education.
