$450 equips
one school.
That is one SomaBox installed and running, with a library of books, videos and audio that a whole school can use without needing an internet connection.
What each
amount funds.
Donations pay for the devices themselves, training for the teachers who will use them, content built for the local curriculum, and visits to keep installations running after delivery.
$450
One school equipped
One SomaBox installed in a school, with its library of books, videos and audio ready to use. An average school reaches about 870 students, so roughly 50 cents per student.
$87
One teacher trained
Early literacy training and instruction methods, so the library is used in lessons rather than left in a cupboard.
Any amount helps. You can give once or set up a recurring donation on the campaign page.

Schools, universities, libraries, NGOs and funders work with us to place SomaBox where it is needed and to build content for it.

One SomaBox, one school, 870 students.
Give once or monthly. Every SomaBox that goes out stays useful for years, whether or not the school ever gets an internet connection.
