Wi-Fi for students and educators in Kenya

UPDATE: In early 2020, with the support of the Lenovo Foundation, we replaced URISE’s Big Box. After two years teaching with one of our very first systems, the staff and students at URISE are now enjoying the latest software and hardware features.

In 2018, we delivered a Big Box to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. Our partner, Sky School, provides teaching for refugees who have missed out on education - their courses can be studied online from anywhere in the world.

Big Box has been an integral part of the course in Kakuma. The smiling people in this photo are some of the 52 students that have just got their diplomas studying online using a Jangala Big Box.

Around the world, 31 million children have been forced from their homes and everyday lives - many never get the chance to finish school.

Over the next year, we will be installing a further four Big Boxes with Sky School: two will go to Kenya, one will go to Juba, South Sudan and another to Mpaka, Swaziland.
