Infinite Family
Registrace 12. 10. 2009
Infinite Family is a South African NPC/NGO and American 501c3 non-profit that provide access to tools, technologies and skills many African teens need to forge better lives but that their communities are unable to provide. We build computer labs (aka LaunchPads) in partnership with local schools and NGOs, deliver reliable high-speed internet connectivity, and connect teens, called Net Buddies, with a global network of online mentors. Infinite Family mentors help the Net Buddies build skills in five vital impact areas: education, career preparation, technology literacy, communication and life skills. Net Buddies are supported to stay in school, prepare for tertiary education and the workplace, and strive for financial independence. We know they are making a life-changing difference by the opportunities the teens create for themselves: since 2008, 98% of their mentored 12th grade students qualify for advanced education, 85% for top-tier universities.

Net Buddy Appreciation
zhlédnutí 36Před 9 měsíci
Everyone needs a lift from time to time and our South African team is still riding high from a voice note they got last week. As you may know, if you’re mentoring a Net Buddy in Grade 12 (Matric), one of the requirements for admission to certain university courses is completion of National Benchmarking Tests (NBTs). Because it’s not a universal requirement, it’s not coordinated by the Education...
