Utilizing Digital Technologies to Transform Learning for Refugees by Ben Wilkes

Children on the Edge is a UK registered international children’s NGO that works on behalf of some of the world’s most marginalized children. Working in refugee camps, slums, and war zones, their focus is on the early years of a child’s development with an emphasis on education. To achieve their goal of high quality service delivery in all situations, they have utilized simple smartphone technology to overcome barriers to education in Kutupalong refugee camp, Bangladesh. Their digital learning solution has seen unexpected spin offs with wider ranging opportunities for scale.
