How Project: Empower Began

Growing up in an immigrant family, I experienced the challenges that people from low-income backgrounds face on a daily basis, such as financial insecurity and lack of transportation. These experiences made me conscientious of the social inequalities that exist in our society and inspired me to take action.

Throughout my adolescence, I found myself naturally gravitating towards technology. Whether it was helping me self-study for standarized tests without needing to hire expensive tutors or helping me navigate the college admissions process, I realized that technology had the power to uplift those from underprivileged backgrounds.

I founded Project: Empower to inspire other students like myself to harness this incredible power to make a postive impact in underprivileged communites. Technology changed my life, and I hope Project: Empower will help better the lives of many more across the world.

I hope you will join us on this journey!
