Redefining access to education in refugee settlements.
SnapScholar applies technology to one of education's hardest access problems: reaching learners in refugee settlements, wherever they're starting from.
Why it matters
Displacement shouldn't end an education.
In refugee settlements, classrooms, teachers and learning materials are often out of reach for the young people who need them most. That makes access an engineering problem as much as an educational one.
SnapScholar is built around that reality: technology designed for the conditions of a settlement, and for the learners, educators and partners who work there every day.
How it works
A shared model for reaching more learners.
Partners and funders extend the reach of the work. SnapScholar connects that support to the educators and learners on the ground.
Our approach
Built on 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.
The model
Support, technology, learners.
