New: AI Training Hub — free AI training for 2,000 Romanians Learn more →
11 years · 35,000 educators · Google.org & EMIF Grantee

Romania ranks last in the EU for digital skills.
We're changing that — through the people who reach every child: their teachers.

We don't deliver programs directly to children — we build the infrastructure that already reaches them. With 35,000 educators trained across Romania, ADFABER has created the largest network for digital safety, media literacy, and AI skills in the country. When we need to reach a million families, we don't build a new channel. We activate the one we already have.

What change looks like

Three stories. Three starting points. One variable.

Digital Skills

From placement center to $4,000 in one summer

A child from a state placement center — no family, no resources — earned $4,000 in a single summer from coding services after our programs. That $4,000 was a beginning, not an ending.

Long-term Impact

From a Romanian classroom to Columbia University

In 2018, a girl told us she wanted to use AI to unlock the mysteries of the universe through astronomy and astrophysics. She just graduated from Columbia University — Astronomy & Astrophysics with Computer Science. We didn't change her dream. We gave her the tools to take it seriously.

Our Approach

Three people. Three starting points. One variable.

A placement center child. A girl with a dream too big for her circumstances. A student who became an educator. Three completely different starting points. The same variable: access to the right digital skills at the right moment.
