Thaki. Unlock their potential

Routebeschrijving Website

Thaki is a nonprofit working to empower refugee and vulnerable children through digital literacy. The concept is simple.

Refugee and disadvantaged children are missing out on their education and we want to help. Electronic devices, such as laptops, are often retired long before their productive life is over. Thaki collects such devices from corporations, institutions and individuals. Our approach is to load the devices with links to educational content and get them in the hands of young refugees with limited educational resources. We distribute the computers to educational centers that work with refugee children, in addition to giving computers to older students, such as university scholarship students, who need a computer to support their learning. Thaki has been named as a partner NGO in the Global Business Coalition for Education's response to the Syrian refugee crisis to educate children.

As the crisis in Lebanon deepened, our Head of Operations Mariam Youssef Khalaf appeared on Red TV Lebanon and other media outlets to share Thaki's urgent appeal: collecting 4,000 laptops for forcibly displaced children across Lebanon.

These conversations helped more people understand how digital tools can keep learning within reach during displacement and uncertainty. Watch her interview with Red TV Lebanon to learn more about this critical response.

1,082 laptops have arrived at Thaki’s warehouse!

Thank you to everyone who has supported our emergency campaign for Lebanon so far.

Each laptop will become a learning tool for children and teachers, and a bridge to quality education in communities where digital access is limited.

Now, each laptop needs to be checked, prepared, loaded with offline learning resources, and delivered to schools and learning centers where it can support real learning.

Your donation helps us turn this shipment into access, opportunity, and brighter futures for children who need these tools most.

Help us get these laptops classroom-ready.

“Our school was destroyed, but our mission was not.”
These words came to us from Hassan Muhammad Habish, owner and principal of Al-Taiba Private School in South Lebanon.
For years, his school has been more than a building. It has been a home for learning, teachers, and generations of students.
When war made in-person education impossible, Hassan and his teachers found another way. With laptops provided by Thaki, they were able to continue lessons remotely and keep students connected to learning.
Now, after the school was destroyed and the devices were lost, Hassan is starting again.
A laptop cannot replace a school. But it can help a teacher reach a student. It can keep a lesson going. It can protect a child’s access to education when everything around them is uncertain.
Your support helps Thaki respond to urgent requests like this one and provide practical digital tools to schools that need them most.

Children in Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and Jordan gained access to Thaki’s digital tools last year. In 2025, we distributed 1,079 laptops. Each one holds the promise of learning resources, digital skills, and new possibilities for children and young people.

With every laptop placed in the hands of a learner, we move closer to a future where more children can learn and thrive.

If your company has laptops they’re decommissioning - consider pledging them to Thaki. For a step-by-step guide, see link in bio.

In Lebanon, over 340 schools have suffered structural damage, with at least 17 completely destroyed.

Mass displacement from ongoing conflict has heavily fragmented student attendance and forced reliance on makeshift or repaired learning spaces. (UNICEF)

This is exactly what we’re doing, establishing digital labs for children to get back on education track, in addition to helping them gain evergreen skills.

We have allocated 1,200 laptops so far, and we still need 2,800 more to reach our target and get 32,000 children back to education.

TWO YEARS LOST. WE CAN'T LOSE MORE.

Students in southern Lebanon have been without consistent education since October 2023. That's 24 months of disrupted learning and displacement.

a recent ERICC Research Consortium report in collaboration with the Centre for Lebanese Studies documents the toll. 96% of students in the south reported disrupted education. Parents of 41% of the students said their children did not receive any support during this closure.

Thousands of children still lack safe learning spaces, but we’re moving to establish digital labs before more time is lost.

Every day without action is another day a child falls further behind.

Perhaps wondering why a laptop makes such a big difference for a forcibly displaced child. Watch our Head of Operations, Mariam Youssef Khalaf , share how a Thaki device helped her children stay on track during her own displacement.

There is still an enormous need for our tools and access to technology. We’d be honored if you would consider donating.

We need 4,000 laptops to set up computer labs for forcibly displaced children in Lebanon. These labs, in Thaki partner schools, will help children catch up and increase teachers’ capacity to deliver effective lessons.

We are already responding, with 1,200 devices now arriving
in Lebanon.

But that is not enough.

Please help us give Lebanon’s displaced children a chance.

$200 covers the cost of one laptop, supporting about 8 students a year for an average of 3-5 years
$4,000 equips a whole computer lab and allows us to train teachers

A donation of any size enables us to keep responding flexibly.

How to use technology in schools is one of education’s big debates.

But in practice, children gain digital literacy through everyday learning moments in the classroom.

These photos were taken at Society for Social Support and Education in Lebanon, where teachers are using Thaki’s Learning Platform to support the curriculum.

Even in the low-resource environment of Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, with displacement and trauma around us, children’s daily learning journey includes up-to-date tech tools. Each click is an opportunity to explore, practice, and build new skills.

Delivering laptops is just the beginning.

When teachers start using our devices, they are discovering Thaki’s learning platform, and the educational applications.

This is why onboarding is an essential part of Thaki’s work. Mariam Khalaf, Thaki’s Head of Operations, leads these sessions with teachers. She guides them step by step through the device, shows them where to find the learning tools, and gives them the space to ask questions and try things themselves.

In June alone, Mariam held onboarding sessions with around 100 new teachers across Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan! It was our biggest month ever for onboarding.

The moment teachers begin to explore independently is special every time. They open the applications, ask questions, test the tools, and start imagining how the laptop can support children’s learning at home or in the classroom.

Because access to technology is not only about providing a device: it’s also about making sure teachers feel confident and supported enough to use it well.
