Learning Lions is a non-profit program that selects, educates and trains young adults living outside urban areas with few job opportunities in high-value skills like software development, graphic design and media production. It is focused on hands-on skills taught by volunteers from around the world that can immediately be used to generate income online. Our follow-up programs Digital Lions (fair trade sales agency) and Startup Lions (startup incubator) then help our trained ‘Lions’ to use the skills they acquired in their training to earn a living, either by working as digital service providers with Digital Lions or by founding their own projects through Startup Lions. We thus follow a very holistic approach.
