Social Impact

Making Computer Education effective and fun!


    IGNITING YOUNG MINDS

    Better Tech Education for a Better Goa

    Let your love for Goa help unshackle and empower Goan youth in this era of Computer Technologies. With the vast majority of Goan school Computer Labs in disarray for a decade, essential Computer Education is in shambles. As a result, Goa’s educational output has become largely sub-standard and non-employable in modern industries leading to many social ills.

    Our RPi-4-Schools social-impact project is reviving such Computer Labs and transforming lives of Goan children by exposing them to the latest, productive and creative uses of modern technologies so that they define their destinies rather than being at the mercy of local, unhealthy social circumstances.

    #1 RPi-4-Schools

    Making Computers Exciting Again! For children, computer education is most effective when its fun and hands-on.

    Inform & Inspire To Aspire

    Boost students’ learning interest with posters of inspiring quotes from global icons about education and technology. Also makes the Lab lively.

    All Software Free Forever

    No costs and complications of licensed software. Only Free Open Source Software (FOSS) covering the complete state board curriculum.

    Minimum E-Waste And Costs

    Conventional, delicate CPUs have succumbed to dust, heat and power fluctuations. We replace the irreparable and reuse the rest to keep costs low.

    Train The Teacher

    We equip the most crucial success factor, the Computer Teacher, with material and training to effectively use the new setup in her/his teaching.

    Raspberry Pi: The Little Wonder

    RPi, a pocket-sized, multi-purpose, rugged and low-cost micro-computer with 16+ million units sold globally is an ideal replacement for dead CPUs.

    Support For Long-term Success

    On-call support to school for guidance and issues with our hardware and software. Site visits for Computer Lab health-check and reporting.

    Low-Power Setup

    10 RPis consume less power than one old CPU, thus simplifying electrical setups and making solar-powered Computer Labs a possibility in near future.

    Learning & Innovation

    Regular feeds on latest global computer technology advancements, relevant events and interesting assignments and project ideas for students.

    Secured From Mischief

    Our custom-designed stainless steel bracket fixes RPi’s only weakness ie. pilferage vulnerability due to its small size and its exposed micro SD card.

    Live In Action

    They say, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million! Hence we create a small video about our work at every school where we have revived or upgraded the Computer Lab using our RPi-4-Schools solution. Our videos help spread awareness besides providing a glimpse to the sponsors of the young lives that their precious contributions are positively impacting.

      What must be the real Computer Literacy of 17,000+ Goan children going through SSC every year when 72% schools do not have a functional computer? This has prevailed for almost a decade in this 21st century where computers are a necessity (not a luxury anymore) in any field.

      Through our RPi-4-Schools social-impact project we aim to transform lives of Goan children by helping revive/upgrade their school Computer Labs, the most under-rated, dilapidated and under-utilized yet the most life-transforming tool in our schools today. Check out details of our RPi-based work so far in Goan schools shortly on our upcoming website dedicated to the cause of transforming computer education in Goa.

      Support us to empower Goan children on the right, productive and creative uses of computer technologies to define their destinies rather than being at the mercy of their circumstances. Help save young Goans from technology misuse, substance abuse, vices, aimless lives and exploitation. Any form of help that can enable this project is most welcome, right from you joining our team to execute it in some schools to connecting us to potential corporate/individual sponsors.

      Contribute any amount from INR500 upwards by providing details in the form alongside here and transferring the amount to our company bank account per given details. We issue GST invoice for every contribution received so you may provide your company name and GSTIN (if any) in the Message box to get Input Credit for your contribution. Your support to this noble cause will also be recognized publicly in various ways as shown in this chart unless you choose to keep it private.

      Apart from our crowdfunding package (ie. iLite* involving installation of minimum 5 RPi-4-Schools kits per school) we also offer institutional / CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) packages listed in this table (ie. Prime, Standard, Lite and LiteX) designed to provide budgeting flexibility to the sponsoring companies / businesses. If you can help connecting us with CSR funding sources for school(s) of your choice (either known to you or from our shortlisted ones) then kindly drop us a line at connect@uzoorba.com to receive our detailed CSR proposal and discuss the next steps. We can upgrade a school’s Computer Lab within 2-4 weeks of receiving the required funding. The increased timeline is only due to the pandemic induced delays in the national and global logistics.

        In our school, there was only one working computer because of which our students were not able to learn. But now by installing Uzoorba’s Raspberry Pi kits in our school, our students are able to learn and gain computer knowledge.

        Computer Teacher, Navadeep Vidyalaya, Shiroda, Goa

        We are extremely delighted to see the positive feedback and smiles on students’ faces at the school where we sponsored the Computer Lab upgrade through our CSR. Superb efforts by Vincent and his team…you guys are excellent!
