Each lab is equipped with internet-connected computers, giving students reliable access to the digital tools they need for school, creativity, and future careers.
Our labs are designed to be welcoming spaces where students feel supported, seen, and free to explore their interests—regardless of their background or experience.
Students explore digital literacy and specialized STEAM skills through engaging, age-appropriate classes that build confidence and spark curiosity.
Classes are led by diverse STEAM educators who understand the communities they serve and act as powerful role models for what’s possible.
Pune (India), Manassas (Virginia), and one more on the way—each designed to meet local community needs with global impact in mind.
Over 400 young learners walk through our lab doors every day to explore, create, and grow with access to real digital tools.
From coding and robotics to digital literacy, we’ve delivered over 500 hands-on STEAM sessions designed for discovery and empowerment.
With more than 7,500 students and 2,000 families supported so far, Kuma Labs are helping communities bridge the digital divide—together.
This Kuma Lab serves the 178 children (78 boys and 100 girls) at the Bal Siddhanath Vidyalaya School in rural India.
Foundation Founder and Board Chairman, Ray Kimble, reflects after the Belsar Kuma Lab’s bustling opening day, “The highlight of this unforgettable day, by far and quite emotionally, was seeing the kids sit at the computers and log in for the first time!
It’s easy for many of us to take technology and our access to it for granted, and seeing the excitement and curiosity on their faces reminded me both of what a marvel it really is and how necessary to connect with the world and compete in the modern economy.
These children are crossing a threshold that will empower them to cross a digital divide that has kept them behind their peers due to circumstances that have nothing to do with how smart, creative, and capable they are – and I couldn’t be prouder that we were able to be a part of making that possible.”
This Kuma Lab serves the community of Georgetown South, with educational programming for kids and empowering technology access for residents of all ages.
Community Manager, Meg Carroll, says that “Georgetown South is incredibly thankful that the Kuma Foundation selected our community as the site for this computer lab.
Our kids need this lab to bring technology to them when they’re not at school. They need it to help bring them to grade level. During the school day, our adult residents will be able to access computers for everyday needs, language learning, and computer skill enhancement.
No resident of our 4,500 will be left out of the opportunity to access computers thanks to the Kuma Foundation.”
