Thaki. Unlock their potential

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 educati

onal 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.

From 10 laptops in 2015... to 6,500 in 2025!

Our 2025 annual report is out to tell you that in 2025, Thaki’s digital tools reached an estimated 19,600 children, with 1,079 laptops distributed across five countries and 51 schools and learning centers supported. The report also marks 10 years of Thaki’s work, from ten laptops in 2015 to more than 6,500 devices distributed and 60,000 learners reached since then.

We’re now operating across Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Palestine, and - to a smaller extent - in the UAE and the Netherlands. This means more children can access digital literacy and high quality education through our devices.

Our heartfelt thanks to the team, volunteers, our partners, the educators, and the schools in the region. A decade of effort is paying off every day for the children we serve.

Digital learning should reach children where they are.

In March 2026, Thaki and Islamic Relief Australia continued their partnership in Jordan, delivering 200 laptops to Thaki learning centers.

Each laptop is loaded with Thaki’s learning platform, giving children access to educational content and activities they can use offline, without depending on internet access.

For students in these learning centers, the laptops create more space to explore, practice, and build skills in a familiar learning environment.

Thank you, Islamic Relief, for continuing to support this work with us and helping more children in Jordan access digital learning.

Our partnership with GSR Foundation is rooted in a shared understanding of the digital divide.

GSR Foundation supports organizations working to reduce barriers to participation in technology, especially for communities that are often excluded from its benefits.

We translate this into creating access to digital learning for children in low-resource communities through devices, educational content, and partnerships that respond to real needs on the ground.

We are grateful to the GSR Foundation for supporting this work and for helping us make technology more accessible, practical, and relevant to children’s learning.

A laptop in a classroom is more than a device. It becomes part of how students explore, practice, and take part in learning every day.

Through the continued support of Islamic Relief Australia, Thaki is bringing digital learning tools to more school communities in Lebanon for a second year.

Last December, 600 laptops were distributed through this partnership, each equipped with Thaki’s learning platform, including Nour’s World, and 6,700 offline e-learning and productivity units, tools, and resources.

The laptops pictured here are now part of a school’s daily learning environment, supporting students and teachers with digital tools and offline resources they can use inside the classroom, even where access to devices and connectivity remains limited.

Thank you, Islamic Relief Australia, for helping make this possible.

Access to learning often depends on having the right tools at the right time.

We are grateful to PwC Jordan for donating 30 laptops to support Thaki's work in Jordan. This contribution will help more children access digital learning opportunities, educational resources, and the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

For many children, access to a device can be the first step towards continued learning, greater confidence, and new opportunities. Donations like these help remove barriers to education and ensure that more learners can benefit from quality digital learning experiences.

Thank you, Jordan, for supporting our mission and helping create more opportunities for children to learn, grow, and reach their potential.

“My favorite subject is computer classes, because it includes a lot of experiences, games, and activities.” In this video, filmed at the Cultural Center for Quality Education in Lebanon, computer classes have become one of the students’ favorite subjects.
For one student, it’s the activities and games that make the class exciting. For another, it’s the chance to use Scratch, an application that helps children learn how to build games through programming.
Abed Al Majid, IT teacher at Cultural Center for Quality Education, explains that Thaki laptops helped the school introduce computer classes as a subject, giving students a more practical way to explore, learn, and apply what they are being taught.
Computer classes need practice, interaction, and space for students to try things for themselves. Exactly what Thaki provides. This is exactly what Thaki helps provide.
Through our ongoing partnership with Islamic Relief Australia, these laptops are now helping students build digital skills and turn their imagination into something they can create.

Watch the reel to hear it from the students and their teacher.

When children feel safe, they participate differently. They become more willing to share ideas, engage with activities, and interact with those around them.

While working with children with refugee backgrounds in the Netherlands, Iman, a teacher leading Nour’s World program in the Netherlands, observed a noticeable shift after several Nour's World sessions:
"Once the child felt safe, their creativity level directly increased."

The program was originally introduced to help children develop social and emotional skills, but teachers found that its impact extended into other areas of daily life and learning. Breathing exercises and self-regulation techniques were used beyond the classroom, helping children manage emotions, navigate friendships, and even share what they learned with family members at home.

One teacher shared that children began using the breathing and butterfly
techniques with their own family members to help ease moments of stress and frustration.

These experiences are a reminder that learning is not only about academic development. It is also about helping children build the confidence, self-awareness, and emotional skills that support them both inside and outside the classroom.

Sustainable impact is built through long-term commitment. It means the work did not stop at one moment of delivery: the partnership continued to grow around a shared commitment to children’s access to learning.

With Islamic Relief Australia’s support, Thaki is continuing to reach schools in Lebanon and Jordan with laptops prepared for classroom use. Each device includes Nour’s World, and 6,700 offline e-learning and productivity units, tools, and resources.

For schools working with limited resources, this kind of continued support helps make digital learning more consistent, more practical, and easier to integrate into the school day.

We are grateful to Islamic Relief Australia for continuing this work with us, and for helping more children access learning tools that can support them beyond a single moment.
