Learning without limits: ATscale partners with Global Citizen and Messika to unlock education for millions
We are proud to announce a landmark collaboration with international advocacy organization Global Citizen and French luxury jewelry, Messika. Together, we are launching the "Learning Without Limits" campaign to dismantle the barriers preventing children in low- and middle-income countries from accessing life-changing assistive technology.
The "Missing Link" in the classroom
The "Learning Without Limits" campaign highlights how assistive products are the ultimate "key" to the classroom, enabling children to see the board, hear their teachers, and move independently.
A partnership rooted in inclusion
This initiative brings together three distinct partners with a shared vision:
- ATscale provides the technical expertise and systems-strengthening approach to make assistive technology affordable and accessible for people in low- and middle-income countries.
- Global Citizen leverages its massive community of action-takers to build political and public will.
- Messika brings a deep-rooted commitment to social justice. Founder Valérie Messika, inspired by her personal experience growing up with a brother with a disability, together with her family have pioneered inclusive workplaces. The Andre Messika Diamonds facility in Namibia stands as a global model, notably, 70% of the workforce comprises persons who are hearing-impaired and wheelchair users.
"Access to a pair of glasses or a hearing aid can increase a child’s lifetime earnings by thousands of dollars and, more importantly, restore their dignity," says Pascal Bijleveld, CEO of ATscale. "With Global Citizen’s reach and Messika’s vision, we are proving that the AT gap is a solvable social justice imperative."
Join the journey
We are calling on Global Citizens everywhere to join us on a unique five-step digital journey. Participants can take quizzes, sign petitions, and learn how assistive technology serves as the foundation for multiple sustainable development goals.
