'Our Children, Our Future.' campaign by Kids Go Coding

Kids Go Coding, a project that aims to empower underprivileged children with the knowledge of computer programming, will launch its first campaign in Bangladesh on 5th March with the tagline 'Our Children, Our Future.' The campaign is targeted to raise both financial and logistical support (including computers, laptops and tabs) to be presented to the underprivileged children who were taught coding under the project. It will continue until 15th of April, 2016.

The campaign aims to reach both government and the private sector from national, international and multinational arena.

In partnership with Microsoft and World Bank, BetterStories Asia launched the Kids Go Coding initiative in May 2015, with 100 students from 2 non-profit schools; Jaago Foundation and Shohag Swapnodhora Pathshala, Mirpur.
