About Weedor

Weedor, formerly known as Computer for Kids International, Inc. (COKI), is a distinguished 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization officially established under Virginia State Law on July 23, 2018. Our core purpose at Weedor is to empower educational institutions across Africa to cultivate a nurturing, all-encompassing, and forward-thinking learning environment that transcends barriers of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, and economic background. Our steadfast commitment is grounded in the vision of a world where every child can thrive regardless of their circumstances.

Our operational endeavors are firmly rooted in the pursuit of accelerating the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal IV: "ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all." We work tirelessly to bring this goal closer to realization with a clear mission “To power Africa with technology solutions to accelerate quality education for all," knowing that education is the key to unlocking the potential of individuals and communities alike.

At Weedor, we believe that education is not merely a pathway to personal growth but also the cornerstone of societal progress. Our comprehensive initiatives are designed to break down barriers, foster inclusivity, and ignite innovation within the educational landscape. Through collaborative partnerships, innovative programs, and a deep commitment to social impact, we aspire to transform the future, where no child is left behind.

Join us in our mission to revolutionize education, create opportunities for all, and contribute to a brighter and more equitable global future. Together, we can bridge the gap and make quality education a reality for every child.
