At Emascale, education is not an addon to our work, it is the core of how we believe technology can change lives and shape safer, more prosperous societies.
Taking care of Kenya's children through health , Education & spiritual development
By supporting Häuser für Waisenkinder e.V. and the creation of a computer lab at the MOCC primary school in Siaya, Kenya, we are helping children move from purely theoretical lessons to real, handson digital skills that directly influence their chances of progressing to secondary education, skilled work, and financial independence. Global evidence shows that every additional year of schooling raises future earnings and dramatically reduces the risk of poverty, which is why we see highquality education—especially for children in vulnerable situations—as one of the most powerful levers to unlock potential, strengthen communities, and build a more stable, equitable world for everyone.
