How We Do It

Digital Literacy Classes

We partner with Dekalb County and Indian Creek Elementary to provide laptops and weekly classes. Families learn practical skills like using Google Docs, Sheets, and Rosetta Stone, opening new pathways for education and connection.

Community Fundraising

Through creative partnerships like our Domino’s Slice the Price fundraiser, we’ve raised funds to replace and upgrade essential technology. Every contribution helps refugee families access tools they can depend on.
