Powering Bright Futures

Our Mission

Powering Potential uses technology to improve education and employability for youth in developing countries.

Every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves to fulfill their potential as global citizens.

Powering Potential aims to ensure that no one is left behind in the rapidly evolving 21st-century economy.

Our programs provide schools with solar-power, computer labs, digitized learning materials, and digital skills training in areas with limited access to the grid.

With improved learning and technology literacy, students are better prepared to pursue higher education, secure employment, and build a brighter future.
