Founder
I was blessed to begin a successful career as a businessman in Tanzania. While it wasn’t always easy I recognized that today there are many who are still struggling to find a path towards success. I am grateful to my lord to share my success with the less fortunate ones in my home country. Funding this education project in computer literacy is one way to help them achieve independence.

Trustee
Access to affordable technology and digital skills training is critical in reducing the digital divide in Mexico and creating opportunities for marginalized communities to participate in the global digital economy.

Starting my career as a tech innovator in Silicon Valley was a dream come true. Now, I feel compelled to invest in programs that promote STEM education in underserved communities, giving others the same opportunity to pursue their passions.
