Tigray's students belong in every classroom on Earth.
The initiative
Connecting Tigray's students with global mentors, coding skills, and scholarships that open doors.
Our mission
War interrupted a generation's education. It did not end it. We connect Tigray's students to the mentors, skills, and doors that open next.
Innovate Tigray is a nonprofit initiative. Every course is free, every mentor is a volunteer from the global community, and every student's privacy is protected from day one.

Student stories
“I didn't need someone to believe in me. I had that. I needed someone to show me the forms, the deadlines, the words admissions officers expect.”
