Edlumino
Edlumino is an educational organisation founded in Cambridge, UK on 3rd October 2015.[1]
The organisation
The company exists to develop software and other products which can improve school efficiency and thereby generate funding in order to improve the education of disadvantaged pupils.
Edlumino Education Aid is a subsidiary Non-governmental organization focusing particularly upon organising charitable support to improve the education of displaced and refugee children. Working with schools such as Bishop's Stortford College,[2] the organisation has gathered old text books and deployed teachers to work with the refugee children at Grande-Synthe and at Calais. As a result of an appeal for support in January 2016 Edlumino was innundated with offers of support from teachers across the UK.[3] The organisation also raised almost £20,000 in donations from members of the public, in order to support teachers travelling to the camps to tutor refugee children.[4] The organisation worked in both of the camps at Calais and Grande-Synthe although in the winter of 2015 it was focused mostly upon supporting the children at Grande-Synthe[5]
Award winning writer and teacher Natalie Scott has been described as inspirational[6] and has produced a popular blog about her work teaching refugees with Edlumino.[7] The Edlumino teachers and volunteers work from tents or classrooms, re-engaging refugee children who have been out of education for several years.[8]
