LeNoir Foundation
We uplift the most marginalised communities through digital literacy, library resources, and improved internet accessibility.
We’re reshaping the education landscape, one community at a time.
The Lenoir Foundation is a registered charity based in the United Kingdom, with its headquarters located in London. The Foundation operates in Uganda and Zimbabwe in collaboration with grassroots organizations.
We are deeply concerned about the insufficient access to the internet for primary school students, which significantly contributes to the digital divide. Our mission is to foster environments where all children can learn in safe, healthy, and engaging settings.
We focus on the development and enhancement of libraries and e-learning laboratories, enabling students—particularly girls—to flourish in supportive and interactive spaces where their aspirations can be realized and nurtured.
We build libraries, and we work with communities to empower them to operate these facilities.
Accelerate the roll-out of digital learning, by providing IT equipment to schools, particularly to those serving the most vulnerable children.
Offer training in digital literacy skills such as typing, coding, and data management.
Our impact in so far
"While digital advancements are transforming lives for many, a significant portion of the global population remains underserved. In Africa, digital education is hampered by a scarcity of computers, a lack of proficiency in their use, and inadequate infrastructure.
Similarly, in the UK, digital inequality persists, creating a divide between those who possess technology and those who lack it or fail to utilize it effectively.
Our collective objective is to bridge these gaps by expanding access to computers and IT education, fostering equitable opportunities for all."
