To mobilize computers and other educational technologies and resources for children in under-resourced African countries to improve teaching and learning.
Description
Computer for Kids International, Inc. (COKI) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated under Virginia State Law on the 23rd day of July 2018. COKI’s goal is to use technology as the core tool to build a strong educational foundation for children in under-resourced African countries and thereby ensure for them a successful career and a better life. COKI’s goal supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal IV - to "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all". In an effort to achieve this goal, we seek to identify and move computers and other educational technologies and resources from where they are in abundance to where they are scarce or do not exist. COKI will also develop and operate a school system that blends traditional curriculum with competence-based education to make young graduates marketable or self employable.
