Based on the number of people who visited the Smiling Rocks booth at JCK Las Vegas, the company will build two new digital libraries in rural schools that are unable to afford or have the funds to equip its school with a computer classroom. “Digital Library” is an initiative to provide children in rural or village schools basic skills and knowledge in digital education through proper guidance and classroom. Smiling Rocks has built eight digital libraries and are aiming to build 100 digital libraries in total.
“This is an extremely humbling experience. I believe if I have a small part in empowering anyone, I would be happy to do so,” said Zulu Ghevriya CEO and co-founder of Smiling Rocks. “With digital education in these schools, children will not hesitate to take computer courses as their major interest or pursue higher education. It will make them compatible with others and face the challenges and opportunities.”

This initiative provides children a platform to build their digital skills at an early stage. With these skills, children are able to further continue their education with more confidence and are able to qualify for office jobs, such as clerks, administrative work etc. This initiative also allows the teachers to gain computer skills as well. The teachers will learn to be self-sufficient and able to educate their students in the long run.
