Thaki, pronounced “ the key”, means “smart ” in Arabic.

Some of our content partners
These organizations have generously donated their education or productivity software to Thaki’s community. When a Thaki laptop arrives at a school, these programs are already loaded and ready to use offline through our custom built app. Discover more about the wide range of partners who make all this possible.
Meet Nour!
Nour is a new project by Thaki, built in partnership with TNO with support from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. We are developing a self-guided digital program that builds children’s emotional resilience, and that of their caregivers and teachers. The program is based on scientific research, and will be available online and offline.

Quality Education
Thaki provides access to quality educational equipment and material to refugee and vulnerable children, and supports teachers with training tools and resources

Every year, over 50Mt of e-waste is generated globally. Extending a used laptop’s life is part of the circular model that is at the core of what we do.

Through education, Thaki helps girls avoid early and forced marriage. Many of our partners focus on education and digital literacy for women and girls.
