Lumen Labs Limited

Lumen integrates data collection with digital learning to create a sustainable model for computer education in rural Kenya. Working with schools, Lumen creates Lumen Labs: computer labs where digital literacy is taught through data collection projects. Students are trained to conduct market surveys with their heads of households, after which Lumen aggregates and validates the data for client organizations. Separately, the students are taught to analyze and create stories with the data on the computer, mastering key digital skills such as excel and word processing. It's an innovative model that allows students to learn through hands-on, project-based learning while simultaneously providing data to the organizations that need it most.
