In Ethiopia, some children do not have access to education of any kind. Many spent their entire lives in the fields as they shepherd their family flocks. Their villages have no public facilities and there are often not enough children to support a full school.

GII intends to educate these unreached children with mobile teachers visiting each village or even field to lead lessons before leaving a ruggedized mobile tablet filled with additional lessons for the students. The children would use the tablet on its extended battery until the teacher returns to lead another lesson and swap out the tablets for new ones with fresh batteries and new/on-going lessons.

Lessons that can be extended to include adults within the village and community who have not had access to education themselves. By involving the village leaders in this project will also insure the security of the tablets left behind.

GII has begun testing for this initiative by using tablets within our existing Global Influence school projects. Thus far, the response and interactions with students and teachers has been very positive.
