Core Programmes
Hello World establishes three core programmes at every Hub to increase the value and accessibility of the Hub in the community.
Built by the community, for the community.
We don’t build these Hubs. The communities do. Challenging traditional approaches to development, they learn to build, maintain and repair the Hubs themselves, becoming engineers who can go on to build future Hubs.
It’s a self-sustaining model that relies on mutual investment and radically challenges traditional thinking about development.
How the Hubs Work:
Each Hello Hub offers: eight screens, educational software, free high-speed WiFi, device charging, lighting and solar power.
The Story of Hello World
Hello World is born
In 2012 Katrin came across Sugata Mitra's TED talk on the power of child-initiated and child-led learning. She decided that a similar approach to his 'hole-in-the-wall' computers might be one way of remedying the lack of education suffered by many children in emerging economies. The concept of Hello World was born. Sugata became an advisor and valued colleague.
