Ask a question, give the world...
We encourage disadvantaged children to learn using broadband.
Our mission is simple
To give disadvantaged kids access to computers and encourage them to learn using the Internet.
Our vision is great
Everyone should have access to the internet and the knowledge it can bring. We want to enable disadvantaged children to compete equally with their peers worldwide.
How it works
1. Become A Mentor
If you want to get involved, then look at what makes a great mentor and fill out our form. It’s as simple as that! Find out more about mentors.
2. Raise The Funds
Mentors raise approximately £300.00 towards the costs of a computer and internet access for the computer lab in Huruma.
3. Ask The Questions
Two or three times a week via Skype, our mentors set the kids challenging questions which encourage them to explore the Internet to find answers.

Advantaged SchoolsAbout Us
A network of EDCLUB mentors shares experiences, develops ideas for expanding the movement, and raises funds. Led by a committee of Marlborough College students since 2013 EDCLUB Movement has expanded rapidly from its origins of one mentor Skyping four kids in a slum in Kenya. It now has links to both advantaged and disadvantaged kids in a range of countries (Kenya, UK, India, Netherlands, Malawi).
The Technique
The concept behind the EDCLUB technique is radical. TED Talk Prize winner Prof. Sugata Mitra pioneered the idea that with almost all knowledge now accessible in some form on the internet, kids just need to be given the tools to discover it. The mentors’ role is to encourage and challenge the kids rather than to teach them.
