Join us for a fireside chat with Rudayna Abdo, Founder of Thaki, on bridging the digital divide & empowering refugee children with tech.
Join us for an inspiring fireside chat with Rudayna Abdo, Founder of Thaki, a nonprofit organization on a mission to empower refugee and disadvantaged children through self-paced, motivational electronic tools. Through Thaki, donated electronic devices are repurposed and preloaded with high-quality educational content, providing displaced children with the resources they need to learn, grow, and thrive. In this conversation, Rudayna will share the story behind Thaki, the challenges and opportunities in bridging the digital divide, and the impact of technology-driven learning in vulnerable communities. Come ready to engage, ask questions, and gain insights into how innovation, education, and social impact intersect to create meaningful change.
