Open Learning Exchange (OLE), as a social benefit organization founded in 2007, envisions a world in which every person has open and unfettered access to those learn resources they need to flourish to the very best of their abilities. Working with our nation-based partners, we use innovative, open information technologies to empower communities, disrupted by poverty and violence, with the knowledge and leadership skills they need to enable their people, to thrive, especially their girls and young women. Our mission is to ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to quality education that engenders a personal sense of power, meaning and connection leading to more productive lives and sustainable communities. With the top-down paradigm shifting to a process that is bottom-up, OLE seeks to reframe education by integrating technologically innovative solutions to inspire personalized learning, which is team-supported, community-based and globally connected.
