Unfortunately, we are not providing free devices yet. Any requirement for devices will have to be taken care of by the partner organisation.

A beneficiary is any student who can benefit from the QALAM LEARNING courses.

We offer refurbished tablets that can be purchased from us at subsidised rates.

QALAM LEARNING Give was initiated after we identified the problem that not all students would own a smartphone to access the free QALAM LEARNING learning content. So, we facilitated the collection of old, smart devices and loaded them with our learning content. Through QALAM LEARNING Give, you can sign up to give away your old and unused smartphones and tablets.

Our team will put a value on the old device, acquire a new device of the same value and load it with the QALAM LEARNING content. This device will then be given free of cost to the beneficiary. Devices that cannot be refurbished, will be processed as e-waste.

Any device that is donated to QALAM LEARNING Give that cannot be refurbished will be processed as e-waste.

If you are an NGO, you can partner with us for free access to QALAM LEARNING courses for your beneficiaries. Corporates can also be a part of our mission by donating devices, or by collaborating with us for CSR programmes.

Our partners could be NGOs or organisations working with underprivileged children in need of quality education. Together, we can enrich the lives of your beneficiaries with free QALAM LEARNING resources and programmes.

To become our partner, please write to us at info@qalamlearning.comor fill out this form. We will reach out to you to begin the process of partnership which includes signing an MoU or LOI (legal document).

Our Partner Schools receive free of cost QALAM LEARNING – The Learning App courses. We also distribute free tablets for the purpose of digital learning to government schools.

Corporates can collaborate with QALAM LEARNING Education for All for their CSR programmes. They can donate devices, and collaborate with us for their running or upcoming CSR projects or programmes. They can also connect us with our target audience through their own internal partnerships.

The learning licenses offered by QALAM LEARNING Education for All are free of cost. Partner organisations would only have to purchase learning devices, such as tablets and android boxes, at subsidised rates.

These are set-top boxes which can be connected to a Smart TV using an HDMI cable. Our content will be loaded on an SD card which will be installed in these android boxes.

If you know of children in need, please get in touch with us and EFA will help you in giving the children access to free QALAM LEARNING content. Apart from this, you can also donate an old, smart device to us via QALAM LEARNING Give, which can help a child learn. You can also donate to one of our NGO partners through Ketto and help them raise money to procure devices.

You can choose to donate to any of our NGO partners on Ketto. The NGO will directly receive your donation which will be used to purchase devices for children. These devices will then be loaded with free QALAM LEARNING courses.

Since we are not a non-profit organisation, your contributions would not be tax-deductible.

As of now, only QALAM LEARNING employees can take part in our volunteering programmes. However, you can connect us to a student in need of quality education, who might benefit from the QALAM LEARNING learning content.
