EduCatalyst is transforming education into changemaking by expanding access, teaching essential skills, and building global mentorship networks.

This initiative empowers a new generation of leaders to tackle systemic challenges and create lasting social and economic progress.
EduCatalyst: Transforming Education into Changemaking
A quarter billion children worldwide lack access to education, and only 40% of primary schools have internet access. During COVID-19, 31% of students—over 500 million—were excluded from distance learning, deepening educational inequalities. This lack of access not only traps millions in poverty but also stifles innovation and economic growth. The World Economic Forum estimates that fostering skills like collaboration and problem-solving could unlock $2.54 trillion in global economic growth.
EduCatalyst addresses this urgent challenge by expanding access, developing essential skills, and scaling impact. Our approach:
1. Expanding Access – We equip underserved communities with offline-compatible learning tools, devices, and internet solutions tailored to local needs.
2. Teaching Core Skills – We train teachers and students in empathy, collaboration, creativity, and technological literacy through hands-on, inclusive learning.
3. Amplifying Impact – We connect students to global mentors and peers, transforming ideas into real-world solutions.
EduCatalyst equips local communities with essential education tools and training, enabling them to develop impactful projects. By fostering collaboration, creativity, and leadership, it empowers a new generation of changemakers to tackle global challenges and drive systemic change.
This initiative embodies responsible leadership by embedding empathy, collaboration, and innovation into education. More than just teaching, EduCatalyst unlocks human potential, ensuring every student has the opportunity to create meaningful impact.
