My Nonprofit Reviews

"I have been a board member and treasurer of KCIS since its inception, along with Jila Kashef and Dr. Firouz Naderi, Sherry Nahid, since 2009. The core of our mission in KCIS is to help needy children get an education. Our core belief is to 'teach fishing, not just fish'."

In KCIS, we have just launched the Danak app, which is a localized version of "One Course, by One Billion Co." This app won a $15 million prize in an international competition for the best educational app, sponsored by Elon Musk. It teaches writing, reading, and basic arithmetic without the need for a teacher or school, using just a simple tablet and without requiring internet access. Currently, more than 1700 students are studying in the most remote villages in Iran and Afghanistan. Our goal is to expand this program to reach more than 100,000 students in the next five years.
