Success Stories & Impact
At WDI, we’re proud of the tangible impact our initiatives have made across the globe. From empowering students with cutting-edge technology to providing vital resources for communities in need, our work extends far beyond the classroom. Below are some of our most inspiring success stories that highlight how WDI is transforming lives and shaping the future of education.
A Few Initiatives We're Working On
Technology Donations
WDI has partnered with government agencies, schools, and NGOs across South America to donate more than 2,000 computers and laptops, 1,000 tablets, 1,500 VR sets, 200 drones to schools in need. These donations enable the creation of tech-based curricula that galvanize students' academic curiosities and equip them with the skills to compete globally. Additionally, WDI collaborated with U.S. universities to recruit volunteers who teach elementary students in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.
5G Cell Tower in Mongolia
In partnership with private donors, corporations, and academic institutions, WDI spearheaded the construction of a 5G cell tower in Mongolia. This project provides free Wi-Fi access to schools in the Arkhangai and Bulgan regions, connecting students and educators to the digital world. The initiative has transformed education in these remote areas, giving students access to online resources and tools that are vital for both academic and vocational success, and helping close the digital gap in underserved regions.
3D Printing for Ukraine War Effort
In an innovative effort to aid the war effort in Ukraine, WDI partnered with high school students to custom design and 3D-print drones capable of delivering first aid kits and MREs to soldiers in dangerous zones. These 3D-printed drones provide critical support on the front lines, showcasing how technology can be leveraged not just for education, but for lifesaving purposes. This project highlights the creative problem-solving that WDI fosters in students and demonstrates the power of technology in real-world applications.
