KAMPALA, 10 Nov 2026 – Displacement shouldn't end an education. Yet in refugee settlements, classrooms, teachers and learning materials are often out of reach for the young people who need them most. SnapScholar applies technology to that problem: reaching learners in refugee settlements, wherever they're starting from.
Access is an engineering problem
Getting education to learners in a settlement is as much about engineering as about teaching. Technology built for a city classroom often assumes things a settlement doesn't have. SnapScholar is built around the reality of a settlement, and for the learners, educators and partners who work there every day.
Three commitments
- Access first: designed to bring learning to students who are too often left out
- Engineered for real conditions: shaped by the day-to-day realities of learning and teaching in a settlement
- Stronger with partners: designed to work alongside the organizations and educators already supporting these communities
A shared model
No single organization can reach every learner. In SnapScholar's model, humanitarian partners, education programs, funders and sponsors extend the reach of the work, and SnapScholar connects that support to the educators and learners on the ground.
How to get involved
Educators can bring SnapScholar to the learners they teach and support. NGOs and humanitarian partners can add technology to their education programs in settlements, and funders and sponsors can back wider access. Find out more about SnapScholar.
