Soma Foundation

Soma Foundation Rwanda is an Edu-tech non-profit organization founded in 2020. It started its operation on June 21st, 2021 intending to provide easy access to high-quality education to underprivileged individuals and communities using technology. Soma Foundation Rwanda is working towards leveraging technology to address the barriers to accessing high-quality education by providing digital solutions to lower the access barriers due to infrastructure inadequacy and content issues. Soma Foundation Rwanda has two projects to make that happen; SOMABOX and TechAssisstive. SOMABOX project addresses the challenge of infrastructure inadequacy that limits access to quality education in under-resourced communities. The project aims to provide a library box that can be accessed with no use of the internet and it is built up with local and international content to serve the purpose of promoting universal equitable access to quality education. Moreover, TechAssistive Project aims to empower people with disabilities by providing tools that enable them to use technology efficiently. The project focuses on providing technological gadgets and training to people with disabilities, mostly those with motor impairments.
