Join in the challenge by July 14.
What is the Buzz about?
We are a team of rising seniors in New Jersey who want to uplift make-shift libraries to be digital. A ‘basti’ is a neighborhood. It is the first place where children step out into the world and learn. Our goal is to build digital neighborhoods to allow global conversation. Partnering with a grass-root level effort in Mumbai ‘Roshan’, mothers from underprivileged neighborhoods who provide their home space for libraries will be enabled to have conversations with guests globally. Basti kids will learn spoken English & teach us vernaculars (Hindi/Urdu). Funds raised in this step challenge will compensate basti ‘librarians’ & cover Wi-Fi modem boosters.
Budget per library:
$150 for salaries, Wifi cost, and books/artwork
$160 to cover cost of Smart TV
# of libraries: 17
Total budget: $5300
