Education & Digital Inclusion

A space to learn, connect, and act.

Vijana Campus is our community resource and collaboration hub in Goma. Created to support young leaders and their communities, it offers free access to a shared space where people can learn, conduct research, meet, exchange ideas, and work on solutions to the challenges around them — alongside the Mobile School and our other education and civic engagement work.

The Campus gives young leaders and community members a welcoming, free space to meet with peers and collaborators, plan projects and community initiatives, and organize workshops and training sessions. It is not simply an office or a meeting room — it is an enabling environment where people come together, strengthen their capacity, and turn ideas into practical action.

With access to shared computers and a collaborative learning environment, the Campus brings together technology, research, and peer learning. Participants use the space to conduct research and explore community challenges, develop digital and practical skills, build relationships with peers and community leaders, and exchange knowledge that carries into their own initiatives.
