Seeking funding to travel as a speaker to the edX Conference

Donation protected
Support Justin Paluku Mbunzule to attend and present his topic in the Open edX Conference 2024.

I am Justin Paluku Mbunzule, from DR Congo currently living in Uganda as a refugee since 2012. I have created an organization (Up With Africa) that provides educational, entrepreneurial and professional skills to refugees and low-income communities using Information Technology to unlock the abilities and potential of these people through a long term solution of advanced learning.

My topic: “Offline Edx Functionality in Refugee Settlements and poor internet connectivity areas” has been approved to be presented in the upcoming Open Edx conference that will take place between July 2nd and 5th 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa.

I am kindly seeking financial assistance to cover the costs associated with finalizing the process of my needed refugee travel documents, registration, travel, and accommodation as the conference organizers are unable to cover those costs for speakers.

As a refugee leader and advocate for leveraging technology to empower marginalized communities, I am deeply committed to sharing insights and strategies that can bridge educational disparities.

Presenting my topic in this conference presents a valuable opportunity to connect with possible tech & education supporters, exchange ideas, collaborate with experts in the field, and showcase the potential of Offline Edx functionalities in addressing educational challenges in underserved areas.

I would be immensely grateful for any financial donation you could provide in securing the necessary funding to participate in this event.

Your assistance would not only enable my participation but also contribute to advancing the dialogue on inclusive education.

Thank You For Your Gift!
