We Teach to Empower.
The world is facing the largest refugee crisis since World War II. As marginalized and disadvantaged persons are persecuted, they are forced to seek shelter in safe countries where they often do not speak the language, have skills to join the labor market or have the support of their friends and family.
One Digital World seeks to reduce global inequality by connecting refugees worldwide with computers and essential education to prepare them for integration into new countries and cultures. We do this by setting up computer labs inside refugee camps and migrant shelters and teaching our curriculum which aligns with UNESCO framework to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
Graduates may earn certifications from Typing.com, Microsoft, and Continuing Education credit from the University of San Diego.

Casey Myers is Founder and Executive Director of One Digital World.

She sold everything she could not fit in a backpack and traveled through over 50 countries learning languages, experiencing cultures, and volunteering in schools.

Her BA in political science focused on that issue. In 2020, she graduated with her MA in Peace and Justice. She focused her studies and work on the criminal justice system and immigration.
