Fundación El Origen is an NGO with the aim of eradicating the overwhelming gap to opportunities by providing accessible and inclusive digital learning for underrepresented communities. Our project works by creating partnerships with communities, to reach youth and provide them with the support needed to further education.
To achieve this goal, we have developed O-lab: the learning app that is bridging the digital divide. It functions offline, in low cost devices and has a virtual assistant that translates the content to indigenous tongues.
El Origen empowers youth to become leaders in their communities, by providing complementary education, STEAM, and entrepreneurship courses co-created with quality educational institutions to guide youth to access quality education, increase future skills and develop projects for their communities.
By maintaining constant dialogue and training with communities where O-Lab is implemented, we are closing the digital illiteracy and guiding them to develop 21st century skills to thrive.
