Welcome to Education Kindling Organization

eKindling is short for Education Kindling, eKindling is the result of our collaborative attempt to formalize an organizati on in the Philippines that will allow us to further our common mission and vision as a community. Simply said -- This is an education project.

Having been conceived through the "OLPC process," eKindling is supportive of current XO-related initiatives. Projects, partnerships and volunteer efforts will continue to be encouraged. The project details below provides more detail about the organization and why we are pursuing this route.

Many thanks to everyone who has helped in getting us to this point. Your efforts are priceless! With your continued support and collaboration, we can finally see the vision become a reality in the Philippines.

Vision

This is an education project, not a laptop project!

Thus, through innovations in learning and technology, we want to empower the youth of the Philippines to become digitally literate, critical thinkers and productive members of society. In doing so, we believe that they will be better prepared to tackle the challenges of an increasingly competitive job market and globalized world as well, as become an agent of change towards the betterment of themselves and their communities.

Mission

To enhance educational opportunities through open source, learning and technological innovations for the empowerment of children in the Philippines.
