Project Overview

The Rising Sun is launching a major initiative to provide used and refurbished laptops, tablets, Chromebooks, and projectors to refugee schools in Mae Sot, Thailand — benefiting over 6,000 students from Pre-K to high school. In addition, we will offer hands-on computer training to youth and communities in Mae Sot, Thailand — empowering them with essential digital skills.

Target Audience

Our primary beneficiaries are youths in Thailand and Myanmar, with a special focus on refugee and underserved communities. We aim to reach anyone eager to enhance their computer literacy and technological skills.

Goals and Objectives

  • Ensure all youths in refugee and underserved schools have access to laptops and computers.
  • Provide digital literacy and technological skills to prepare youth for brighter futures.
  • Support teachers and schools with reliable IT tools that enhance teaching and learning.

Measuring Our Impact

We will evaluate the success of this project through:

  • The number of IT devices donated to schools and community centres.
  • The number of youths trained in digital literacy programs.
  • Feedback from schools, teachers, and participants about improved educational outcomes and digital readiness.

Call to Action

We can't do this without you.

By donating or partnering with us, you can help bridge the digital divide for thousands of students who lack access to technology. Together, we can equip refugee and underserved schools with the tools they need to unlock opportunity and hope.
