Tent Schools International

Technology for refugees.

Why is technology for refugees so important?

In today’s world, students need access to computers and other technology to help them succeed in school, especially refugee children who often experience gaps in their education. 

Since 2018, Tent Schools International worked abroad and in the United States to make sure refugee students were equipped with the devices they needed to learn, issuing a total of 390 laptops to refugee or resettled people through its LEAP program, a partnership with electronics-refurbishing company, Comprenew.

LEAP is currently on hold, but you can learn more about its impact below!

Help us welcome the stranger.

We honor the biblical mandate to welcome those from other nations who are fleeing for their lives. We strive to put ourselves in their place, to love our neighbor as ourselves (Leviticus 19:18), to treat them as would want to be treated if the circumstances were reversed.
