In Mombasa, Kenya, a volunteer-run learning center is giving children a chance to learn where traditional schooling isn’t available.
With World Mobile’s AirNode technology and Giggle Academy’s free digital curriculum, students now have internet access, tablets, and a place to grow their skills.
This small center is powered by community effort and built on a simple but powerful idea: learning should be accessible to everyone.
Turning Connectivity Into Opportunity
World Mobile installed an AirNode at the school, instantly bringing internet access to the classroom. With that connection, students use tablets to access interactive lessons through Giggle Academy.
It’s a basic setup: an AirNode, a few devices, and a Wi-Fi signal - but the impact is real. For many of these kids, it’s their first experience using the internet for learning.
A School That Pays Its Own Way
By hosting the AirNode, the school becomes part of World Mobile’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN). This means it earns income simply by providing connectivity to the local area.
That income helps fund the school’s operations and gives it a way to grow without relying on donations or government support.
Why It Works
- Students get access to education through a digital-first platform
- The school earns money by sharing its internet connection
- The model is simple, low-cost, and built for areas with limited infrastructure
- The wider community also benefits from the network coverage
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just a story about one school. It’s a working example of how decentralized infrastructure and open education can change lives.
Children are learning. Communities are earning. And technology is opening new doors every day.
