"In a room where the doors are locked and the windows are shuttered, a young girl in Kabul is looking at a tablet. She isn’t scrolling through social media; she’s studying English and watching a 3D model of a chemical element rotate in the palm of her hand."
This powerful story was shared by 360ed’s CEO and co-founder, Hla Hla Win this week at the NGO CSW Forum, held alongside the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women — one of the world’s largest gatherings advancing gender equality and girls’ education.
At 360ed, a Myanmar edtech company with a global mission, the team develops offline, self-directed, gamified learning apps designed for students living in crisis and conflict-affected environments.
Today, these solutions are reaching over 1 million children in Myanmar, helping learners continue their education despite ongoing disruptions.
The session also highlighted 360ed’s efforts supporting Afghan girls’ education following the Taliban education ban, demonstrating how technology and partnerships can help keep learning pathways open even when classrooms close.
The discussion drew significant interest, with over 250 registrations for a room with just 80 seats.
360ed was honored to share the stage with inspiring leaders including Nilab, founder of Rise Up to Learn in Afghanistan, and partners from the Invest in a Girl initiative.
Moments like this reinforce a simple belief: purpose-driven technology can help keep the light of learning on — even in the most difficult circumstances.
