Train, Empower and Mentor in Tech (TEM)

Project Picture

Background of the Project and Why Support is Needed

The Estde Educational Hub is committed to addressing the pervasive educational inequities experienced by girls, special needs children, and underserved communities. Despite the rapid advancements in technology globally, many individuals in low-income and marginalized communities remain excluded from opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive in the digital era.

Girls in these communities face additional challenges, including limited access to quality education, cultural barriers, and underrepresentation in STEM fields. Educators often lack access to professional development in modern teaching methodologies, which limits their ability to inspire and prepare students for the future. Parents, who play a critical role in shaping children’s aspirations, frequently lack the necessary digital and financial skills to guide their children toward economic independence and digital literacy.

The Estde Educational Hub envisions a world where every child, regardless of their socioeconomic background, can access high-quality education and opportunities to succeed in technology-driven fields. However, to achieve this vision, support is needed to scale programs, procure resources, and build the capacity to deliver impactful training, mentorship, and empowerment initiatives.

Objectives of the Project

1. Train, Empower, and Mentor Girls in Low-Income and Special Needs Communities with Tech Skills

• Equip girls with critical technical skills like coding, robotics, and digital literacy.

• Inspire confidence and ambition through mentorship programs led by female role models in STEM.

• Break the cycle of poverty by enabling girls to pursue technology-related careers.

2. Train, Empower, and Mentor Educators in Low-Income Communities

• Provide professional development on modern teaching strategies and technology integration in classrooms.

• Support educators with tools and resources to foster inclusive, technology-driven learning environments.

• Build a network of passionate educators committed to driving positive change.

3. Train, Empower, and Mentor Parents in Underserved Communities with Tech, Digital, and Financial Skills

• Provide training to improve digital literacy and financial management skills among parents.

• Enable parents to actively support their children’s education and career aspirations.

• Empower families to access better economic opportunities through digital inclusion.

This project aims to create a sustainable impact by addressing the root causes of educational inequity, fostering community-wide transformation, and unlocking potential in underserved communities. Support from partners and stakeholders will enable Estde Educational Hub to scale its efforts and bring about meaningful change.
