Gemstone tech tutors is a social enterprise, comprised of a diverse network of young people who work collaboratively with young Techpreneurs in various local communities in Nigeria to create skills and learning empowerment for the inclusive growth of youths. We want to provide Nigerian youth with the opportunity and platform to transform themselves as excellent, effective, and innovation-driven individuals.

During the pandemic, as schools are under lockdown, we are creating a safe, supportive and interactive online platform to promote learning and continuing education. We found out that kids, teens, and youths living in underserved communities do not have access to quality, innovative, and relevant learning opportunities. We thereby create a system that inspires, teaches, nurtures, and empowers these people to advance towards technological development for positive social impact.

Support

We seek financial support for the creation of a digital smart classroom with a blended learning model. We need computers to help us have access to training more youths and also to expand our outreach. We need $1000 to get more computer systems. We are planning to apply for grants from funders to support our work.

Other Needs: Access to information, Space for online meetings (e.g. GoToMeeting)
