COVID-19 continues to affect many systems and societies around the world. Many charities and NGOs are facing challenges in providing their services through the global pandemic, yet many continue to persevere and bring aid and learning to those in need.

LAL’s Tabshoura and Ustad Mobile are both cohorts of the WISE Accelerator program and use technology with the aim to provide education to remote areas.
