Community-based Initiatives

Just as importantly, our DEI strategy has served as the guiding pillar for the community-based initiatives we choose to support. Each year, on behalf of our clients, and in communication with them, we select a charity project to support that is aligned our mission and goals. More specifically, over the years, we’ve supported organisations that improve the human experience. Below are just two examples of our annual partnerships in recent years.

• In 2024, we partnered with the International Cultural Diversity Organisation (ICDO) dedicated to advancing human rights, cultural diversity and inclusivity. Their mission is to raise awareness of diverse cultural expressions and values with the aim to foster cultural interaction, unite people and bridge cultural gaps.

• In 2023, we pledged support to the Malala Fund, an organisation committed to improving access to education for girls around the world, with an emphasis on girls’ education in developing countries. Our financial support has enabled the fund to continue with initiatives such as providing tuition in STEM subjects to young women in Pakistan, and creating safe learning spaces for girls in Nigeria, among others.

We’ve also sponsored other charities including:

• Room to Read Charity dedicated to helping young children improving their literacy.

• Team Kenya Charity dedicated to working with schools, universities and corporates to improve girls education and gender equality in in Kenya.

• Josiah’s House Charity – an orphanage in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, dedicated to empowering youth with education while providing a loving and nurturing environment for homeless children.

• Learning Lions Charity – a non-provide enabling young adults in marginalized rural communities of East Africa to become digital creatives and create economic empowerment.

United Nations Global Compact Partnership

In March 2023, Learnlight proudly joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), reaffirming our commitment to
aligning our operations with the UNGC’s 10 principles related to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. Through this action, we are committing to:

• Operating responsibly in alignments to the universal sustainability principles.
• Taking actions that supports the society around us

Collaboration with JUST ONE Tree to Combat Deforestation and Offset Carbon Emissions

Learnlight has initiated a meaningful collaboration with JUST ONE Tree, a non-profit organization dedicated
to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and reversing biodiversity loss through reforestation. Through this
partnership, we aim to combat deforestation, one tree at a time.

At Learnlight we aim to minimize our environmental impact and specifically our carbon footprint through sustainable work practices. Last year we reduced our carbon footprint to just 144 tCO2e. We did this by reducing our carbon footprint and offsetting the remaining emissions by  investing in community projects.

To offset our emissions in 2022, we invested in the Gyapa Efficient Cookstoves Project in Ghana, as part of its Carbon Neutral Company Certification - a globally recognized standard for carbon neutrality achieved by minimizing the company’s carbon footprint, and contributing to specific carbon offsetting projects, in line with The CarbonNeutral Protocol. The project aims to improve the health and livelihoods of local communities by providing them with clean and efficient cookstoves. Gyapa cookstoves use less fuel, saving families more than $165 million on fuel bills, and emits fewer harmful pollutants. Therefore, this initiative helped reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and protect local forests. It also provided employment opportunities for locals manufacturing and retailing the stoves.
