How could we educate children in a sustainable and scalable way, to prepare them for the real world with tangible skills?
That’s the question that started it all. We wanted to bridge the technology divide by making computers and connectivity accessible to kids and their families; we wanted to create a platform that could bring together businesses, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and mission-driven organizations.
We wanted to make social impact measurable, and provide a true return on impact and investment.
TKIBA® was born to provide a comprehensive approach to complementary education. A solution that involves a physical device (proprietary tablets and laptops), access to measurable and proprietary educational curriculum, a platform to engage children and caregivers, and an opportunity to bring together stakeholders who benefit directly from the well-being and success of the community they serve. All of this, under what we call the TKIBA project.
“Education is the most cost-effective investment we can make”
– Gordon Brown (Former Prime Minister of the UK and Chair of the Education Commission)
Currently, one of the BIGGEST threats to society is the fact that 900 million of the world’s 1.4 billion children reach adulthood un- or under-educated. According to a report from the International Commission on Financing Global Educational Opportunity (the Education Commission)
By 2030 it is expected that 1.5 billion adults will reach the global workforce with NO particular skill whatsoever.
In the United States right now, there are more than 30 million kids living under the line of poverty. The lack of access to early education is so big that an estimated 40% are not even ready for primary school education.
Right here in Florida, almost 1 million children are living in poverty. These children are less likely to graduate high school and become productive contributors to the future.
We decided to test our pilot through a grass-roots model, starting right here in our own communities.
We have created a model that turns every partner into a powerful stakeholder with a vested interest in the success of the program.
A model that solves a social problem through a business model, the way it is meant to be. By bringing together corporations and non-profits in a way where the efforts and results are sustainable, measurable and scalable.
