Almost 800 million people around the world live in a rural area. In Colombia, around 20% of the population live in the rural area. Of that 20%, 40% live in poverty while the remaining 60% are still in inequality conditions. The main drivers that we seek to address are those that cause inequalities, which namely are: household having limited access to education and training, technology resources and technical assistant to improve their quality of life and economic development.

Africa is the largest untapped talent pool in the world - and we develop it! Talents need structure, inspiration and jobs to grow. Our initiative works hand in hand with local schools to develop digital talents and bring them in meaningful jobs. We are targeting young talents to train digital & soft skills as early as possible. Our vision is to enable meaningful and sustainable job creation in Africa trough education. And to empower people who are often overlooked: the hidden talents of Africa - e.g. young women in small villages with no access to higher education. In theory, there are a lot of job opportunities that could be created: International corporates are highly interested to outsource value creation to Africa. And promising local start-ups are rising and strive to create impact. In practice, they all need a pre-qualified workforce with the right mindset and digital skills to realize those job potentials sustainably. Out of our experience as entrepreneurs in Africa, we derived a curriculum based on key skill areas which we found critical for future employees to create value and impact. We use experimental coding and gamification as tools to teach & train the skill areas in practice. Our mission is to deliver such trainings on a broad scale to create tangible impact.

To extend the reach of science into the realm of subjective experience, thus unifying mind and matter within an over-arching understanding of consciousness.
