#codeNepal - Free IT Education for Nepal

 The devastating earthquake in Nepal left thousands of people vulnerable, with no access to food or education. CodersTrust, a Denmark based company, devoted to providing IT education in developing countries, has taken a step to stand beside the earthquake stricken Nepalese victims. Through online IT education, the company hopes to bring a long term impact to the lives of a significant number of the people in Nepal.

The target is to train new students in Front-End Web Development and approximately 1000 existing students will take part in seminars to kick-start their freelancing careers in a matter of three months. After training the Nepalese students, CodersTrust will connect them to various freelance working portals like Upwork. After few months of practice, the trained web developers, around Kathmandu and Bhaktapur region, should be able to earn approximately $10/12 per hour. Others students, learning data entry can earn a minimum of $ 2/3 per hour after a 3 to 4 months’ training period.

To make the initiative more successful, CodersTrust has started an Indiegogo campaign which allows anyone and everyone to contribute to the cause. The aim is to accumulate $40,000 by August 31, 2015, in order to make this project successful. Every dollar spend will be invested to improve the lives of the Nepalese by providing them free access to IT education seek employment opportunities in freelance markets.
