Create ASPIRE (Accelerating Skills Program for Inclusive and Responsive Education) is our program for Digital Skills for Social Good, Education Leadership in Tech, EdTech, and Tech for Education. The Scholarship Grant and Coin Grant are currently its two active projects.
The COIN Grant or the Computer and Internet Grant is a project under Create ASPIRE and is meant for individuals who meet the following criteria:

-
Do not have the money to buy a computer and access to the Internet;

We aim to reward at least one (1) Coin Grant per month in 2025 beginning with our first COIN Grantee, John Lloyd, in March.
The Coin Grant package includes a laptop (brand new or pre-loved) and one (1) year of Internet access subsidy worth 6,000 pesos. If the laptop is pre-loved, it should be in good condition, without any issues, and can be used for at least two years.
The Scholarship Grant is a project under Create ASPIRE and is meant for community workers who need digital uspkilling.
Melanie Barahim (Melai) from Claret Samal Bajau Foundation Inc.

They have been awarded full scholarships for the Digital Marketing online specialist course offered by CIIT College of Arts and Technology.
This grant aims to equip the recipients with essential skills and knowledge to develop digital campaigns that will benefit the communities they serve.
The course will end on August 2, 2025.
