And so, we start the fourth stage of computer assembly for the talented young people of the regions. In the previous 3 stages we have already collected and delivered 30 computers.

Problem

Description

Do you know how many talented young people we deprive of rapid growth, how many benefits our economy does not get, when we "do not remember" them today ․․․

How many companies like Picsart or other Unicorn startups (with a market value of $1 billion) we could have today if 10 years ago we would provide the youth living in the regions with computers?

One of the main reasons why children and teens don't get professional education is because they don't have computers. Statistics shows that only 15-20% of the best students have computers, and the others either have smartphones, or don't have any devices.

According to the statistics, in 2021-2022 the project helped to provide devices to people living in the Armenian regions, and about 58.4% of those who received computers have already got remote jobs, so they wont' have to leave their towns and villages. In this way, the helps to solve the demographic problem that is a significant challenge for Armenia.

Existing or potential partners and collaborators

ARMATH Engineering Laboratories, Student Home NGO, VOMA NGO, Real School Vanadzor, Zartnir NGO, Teach for Armenia project, Bardzunk NGO, Koghb Foundation. We are all united by a vision of our future․ They all help identify talented children / young people, engage in volunteer work, assess needs and priorities, as well as maintain or transport computers. We have a wide range of cooperation with the mentioned structures outside the computer program.

We are inspired by children's faith and motivation, join us.
