What do we do?
01
We are currently training learners who are unable to access school or normal learning in Palestine, Iraq and India.
02
We are working with the Government of Uttarakhand to upskill all of their state school students. This will create a model that can be implemented in the rest of India - 200 million students.
03
We are democratising our training through Artificial Intelligence because 500 million learners are displaced by violence. In addition, COVID-19 showed us how something invisible can suddenly take 1.3 billion children out of school.

"Our strength lies in our understanding of student needs"
Research
Our research is at the core of all our solutions. The strength of OI lies in its research which is a blend of on-ground ethnographic research, digital research and in-person qualitative and quantitative data collection spanning several countries internationally. OI utilises the research expertise of academics from five countries.
Curriculum
Based on research across 3,200 kilometres on road and working with institutions and key stakeholders like teachers, learners and parents in three countries, OI has developed its current curriculum and training method.
Reach
True impact can only happen when we are able to reach all learners to directly boost their employability. We have developed 4 unique solutions in a highly independent modular structure which makes scaling of each solution rapid and makes it possible to choose the solution that can create most impact in new regions.

Artificial Intelligence based Teacher
We are modular
Our core is our research and understanding of student development needs and future employment needs in the regions where we operate.
We have derived 4 lean solutions from the core that are independent, modular and impact generating.
We build processes to upskill a generation that can be fluidly dispatched in new areas to quickly serve at scale.
