Gaining the confidence to start planning for their futures.

With Connect To Learn scholarships, young people—along with their families—have the assurance that funds will be available for a complete secondary education that will prepare them for their life ahead.

Connect To Learn is Proud to Introduce Multi-Year Scholars from Ghana & Tanzania!

Top students from Ghana & Tanzania, 2/3 of which are girls, have been given scholarships for a complete secondary education, powered by dedicated teachers and 21st century broadband connectivity.

Hard-working and inspiring students from all walks of life coming together to learn.

Connect To Learn scholarship recipients come from some of the poorest areas of the world, often from larger families, and some without one or both parents. Without support, most would not have been able to afford a secondary education.

These girls are future leaders.

Connecting students—especially girls—in all parts of the world to school, to the Internet, and to each other, will change their lives and our world for the better.

Welcome to Connect To Learn

A global call for quality secondary education for everyone by 2020—especially for girls!

Education is key to ending poverty and ensuring a better life for people in developing countries—especially girls. Connect To Learn is a global education initiative designed to ensure a 21st century secondary education for everyone by providing scholarships for secondary school, and using ICT to connect classrooms and improve access to quality educational resources for students and teachers around the world, even those in the most remote villages.

Connect To Learn at Work in Ghana Secondary Schools, 2011

Connect To Learn recently implemented our first complete ICT solution in Ghana, in two senior secondary schools where our scholarship recipients are enrolled. The laptops are networked using cloud computing technology, giving students and teachers in these isolated rural villages access to learning and teaching resources from around the world. In this video, the implementation team from Ericsson and the Millennium Village Project, along with several Ghanian students and teachers, share their impressions of how this technology is improving learning outcomes, especially for girls.
