40K Foundation - Runs an after-school education program for children in rural India - currently supported by 40K Globe and 40K Consulting. Families in rural India who send their children to PLUS pay $4/month, however, we aspire to get the setup costs, which are sponsored by the Foundation to be covered by social business income streams.

Really interesting to see how government school teachers are playing with the service delivery model to drive efficiency in the utilisation of the tablets. School on the left has set up a separate room for half of the students to do “tablet time” whilst school on the right is swapping half way through a class.
