iLearn4Free is dedicated to providing free quality education to the children of developing nations through mobile technology.
Education is the foundation of an advancing society. In developing nations, over one billion children are deprived of a simple base-level education, giving them little to no opportunity for development and growth . Through the expansion of available technology and the heightened awareness of the need for education, the access to learning in developing nations will begin to broaden. The global range of the internet and lower costs of mobile technology devices will open up numerous new educational opportunities.
iLearn4Free provides children in developing countries an opportunity for growth and development with the creation of learning applications in a variety of languages. Our interactive applications will both engage and educate the children, using the best methods of teaching available. The applications developed by iLearn4Free have been created using the opinions and ideas of children, and have been tested on children to maximize educational results. This concept of enabling children to help children learn strengthens the goal of our organization.
An education gives an individual the ability to:
- Fill out job applications
- Read and comprehend books, magazines and news stories
- Enhance self-esteem and improve confidence
- Keep in touch with friends and family through written communication
- Implement basic math to maintain finances
- Broaden possible career opportunities
- Create and enjoy enriching cultural activities such as music, art and literature
- Participate constructively in society
-Be better informed about pressing medical issues and have more control over their own personal health and the health of their family members
While an education opens doors for all, educating young girls is especially important, as in many countries girls are given no opportunity to learn, or are only able to go to school for a few short years.
Studies have shown that when a young girl is given the opportunity for an education she will:
-Have a higher self-esteem and feelings of self-worth
- Be more likely to be interested in furthering her education past the primary level
-Wait longer to marry than a girl not pursuing an education, as she will be focusing on her studies
- Be more likely to pursue a career and, when she does, will be paid higher wages
-Bear children later in life, significantly lowering her risk of death or complications during childbirth
- Grow from an educated girl to an educated woman, and will be more likely to insist that her children be educated as well, creating a ripple effect that will result in a better educated community
