@mokokenya is helping build something bigger than furniture.

In Kenya, the company is producing affordable, locally made furniture while employees build manufacturing skills, earn stead incomes, and advance their careers.

Moko’s reach extends across its supply chain, where farmers, artisans, suppliers, and logistics providers contribute to the company’s growth and expand their own economic opportunities.

As the business grows, so does the ecosystem around it, creating more jobs and business opportunities and showing how local manufacturing can contribute to long-term economic growth. by @dellfoundation

@dell_childrens Comprehensive Fetal Care Center is keeping highly specialized heart care in Austin, so families like the Hetheringtons can get treatment close to home.

Before Noah Hetherington was born, doctors found his heart was beating dangerously fast. Specialists across four areas worked together to treat him before birth, adjusting medication over 13 days until his heart rate stabilized.

Laura finished her pregnancy at home, and Noah spent just three days in the NICU. Today, he is 2, off medication and busy being a big brother.

The Center continues to expand under Dr. Alireza “Shami” Shamshirsaz, bringing more specialized expertise to Austin.

For families, that means getting the care they need without having to split their lives across cities. taken in Austin, Texas by @dellfoundation

YearBeyond is a 10-month program in South Africa that gives young adults real work experience, personal development and one-on-one support to plan what comes next. More than 7 in 10 finish and move into a job, further study or a business of their own.

The program has grown from 200 young adults a year to 4,000. Now the team behind it, YeBo Institute, is sharing what it has learned through YeBo Academy, its accredited training arm.

YeBo Academy has already trained 183 people across 59 organizations. Through three short courses, participants build practical skills they can take back to their teams, from leading effective training and coaching conversations to managing projects from planning through delivery.

By sharing what works, YeBo is equipping more organizations to create clearer routes into work, further study and self-employment for young adults. by @dellfoundation

Coursemojo keeps 100,000 middle school students on track in reading and writing by putting support inside the lessons they are already doing.

When students get stuck, Coursemojo helps them work through misunderstandings in the moment, so they can keep pace with the lesson. At the same time, those interactions give teachers real-time insight into where individual students and the class need more attention.

The technology is designed to keep students focused on what they are learning, not distract them from it. Students get guidance when they need it, while teachers know when and where to step in.

As Dacia Toll, co-founder and co-CEO of Coursemojo, puts it, “AI isn’t the starting point. Good teaching is. The question is where technology can help make that teaching even more effective.” by @dellfoundation

Healthy food can be as important as medicine during pregnancy, but it isn’t always affordable.

In Texas, women with high-risk pregnancies are receiving $100 a month for groceries, making it easier to buy the healthy food they need for themselves and their babies. The program is part of a growing effort to make nutrition support a routine part of neonatal care.

@aboutfresh, @communityhealthchoicetx, and the @uthealthhouston Center for Healthy Communities are partnering to study how this approach affects health outcomes and health care costs. Early results are encouraging.

Swipe to see how this partnership is helping make nutrition part of care and building evidence for what works. by @dellfoundation

@peepul_india increased grade-level learning by 32% in public schools across Madhya Pradesh by giving teachers and school leaders ongoing support to improve classroom instruction.

Unlike one-time training, Peepul’s coaches return throughout the school year to observe classrooms, share practical feedback, and help new teaching practices become part of everyday learning.

As classroom experiences improved, more students began coming to school consistently. Attendance increased 28% over two years, with nearly 7 in 10 students now attending regularly.

Today, nearly 1 in 2 students are learning at grade level, and students in Peepul-supported schools are more likely to meet grade-level expectations than their peers in similarly resourced schools. by @dellfoundation
