How we work
Learning centers
Forever learners
Our learning centers are designed to cultivate individuals who are hungry to learn, forever. Learning something brings joy, a sense of accomplishment. Learning something can trigger curiosity, a desire to learn more, dig deeper. Learning something can be powerful, enabling confidence to do more with one's life.
Books are food for the brain
Decades of scientific research shows that the sooner children are exposed to books, the more powerfully their brains grow, enabling the development of language, learning and memory. iCAN provides books -- physical, digital, & audio -- together with educational games to vulnerable children living in children's homes, orphanages, youth detention centers, and in poor communities, along with assessment tools to show the impact on children's cognitive and social-emotional abilities
Data tools
iCAN provides organizations with data tools that enable assessments of child physical and mental health, learning, social-emotional skills, and executive functioning (memory, attention, self-regulation, planning). With these tools, organizations can easily demonstrate the impact of their work on the wellbeing of vulnerable children, providing critical evidence for fund raising and grant applications
