Fighting poverty through
digital education
Learn about our mission, our vision, and the journey of students at PN.
Our Mission
We enable underprivileged young people to become active players in the digital world through an
innovative educational approach that links key digital skills with professional skills.
A gateway to a better life through digital education
PN’s mission is to unlock the potential of disadvantaged youths by giving them access to education, and the means to acquire key soft and hard skills in the digital sector. We provide training in our centers in Southeast Asia, and a preparatory program to university in our center in Madagascar.
Our goal is that each student finds a quality job aligned with local tech market needs, allowing them and their families to escape poverty in a sustainable way and contribute to the social and economic development of their country. We are committed to gender parity – at least half of our students are girls.
