This is the inaugural Hello World Dispatches – a quarterly news bulletin. It is a year since Ellie and I relaunched Hello World and we’re excited to share our progress with you:
+ Designed and piloted a new hub that is 7x cheaper, more rugged, with 8 screens, available in multiple configurations and regularly used by 1000 children!
+ Expanded our work to Nepal andbegun work in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda and hired teams ready to scale in both countries.
+ And we finally have our own office thanks toSecond Home… come and have coffee with us in Clerkenwell House!
FORGING AHEAD
+ Over 50 hubs will have been built by the end of 2020 – that’s 50,000 children with access to the internet and edtech.
+ Hub Heroes launch– giving 100 mothers a tablet loaded with prize-winning educational software, onebillionwhich enables children to become literate and numerate, working in their own language, in 18 months.
+ 86% of users say they have learned a new skill at the Hub, and there is more data coming from surveys, academic testing, and the passive data that the Hub system generates.
Let'simagine a world in which all children have access to education, a chance improve their lives, and tell their stories. That is what Hello World was built to do, and now we are ready to scale.
We have come a long way since the start of Hello World and none of this work would have been possible without you, our advocates and friends.
My heartfelt thanks,
