Access to is one thing. Being able to use it meaningfully is another. For , real access means having the environment, resources, guidance, and support to turn technology into a tool for learning and growth.

That’s what sustainable digital access looks like to us.

Not every part of the work happens inside a computer lab. Reaching schools across rural Tanzania means time on the road, traveling through communities and seeing the places our partners and students call home.

These everyday moments are part of the bigger picture behind Powering Potential and a reminder of why locally rooted partnerships matter so much to our work.

A few glimpses from the road. 🚙

This summer, our Executive Director, Caitlin Kelley, joined the Segal Family Foundation community in Nairobi for several inspiring days of conversation and collaboration.

From meeting the Executive Director of Shule Direct—the digital curriculum used in our partner schools—to connecting with potential funders and nonprofit collaborators, Caitlin came away excited about the possibilities that can grow from bringing the right people together.

She also had the chance to reconnect with longtime PPI supporters Rich and Joanna Segal and share updates fresh from her school visits in Tanzania. 🇹🇿

As Caitlin writes, there is always more work to be done, but being surrounded by so many people committed to creating opportunity across the continent was a powerful reminder of how much is possible when we work together!

Here’s a glimpse inside the place where it all began! ☀️
