Empowering through education

Since 2022, we have partnered with E-ducare, a volunteer-led charity whose mission is to provide education to vulnerable children. Nearformer Marta Spiga, who volunteers for the charity, first introduced us to E-ducare in 2022, and we’ve been proud supporters ever since.

Together with E-ducare, we helped fund a learning centre in Vietnam, donated refurbished laptops, and supported the creation of coding classes and an international children’s coding bootcamp.

We partnered with E-ducare because of their impressive work, and because they share our Nearform values – driving bold change, creating impact and empowering people with the tools, knowledge and skills to succeed.

The first step in our partnership was to sponsor the building of a community learning centre on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam where E-ducare has ongoing operations. The goal of the learning centre is to provide access to education for local vulnerable children, in line with our sustainability strategy objective to improve access to education. Fast forward two years, and the learning centre has taken shape, ready to welcome local students soon.

We believe in the importance of tools when it comes to learning, and have an ongoing donation programme to provide refurbished laptops to E-ducare. These laptops aren't just devices; they are gateways to education and connection, breaking down barriers for children in the Hanoi learning centre as well as those in an E-ducare-backed orphanage in Tanzania.
