Viaduct Foundation

Viaduct Foundation continued to provide funding to qualified donee TIES (Technology In Education Society https://ties.charity/) in 2024. Despite some challenges TIES continued to deliver benefits to students in developing countries through three ongoing projects in 2024: 1) The most notable TIES project in 2024 was the Kenya University Scholarships Project; two young women graduated with their university degrees and five more are expected to graduate in 2025. 2) TIES sponsors indigenous Mayan girls for vocational high school programs at the Ak’ Tenamit School in Sarstun Guatemala. In 2024 one further girl graduated and the other current student is doing well in her program. 3) The Guatemala University Scholarship pilot program continued but funding had to be paused as a new intermediary was sought. TIES initiated one new project in 2024. A generous donor funded the Digital Skills Project pilot program in Kenya. The four-month pilot program run by our intermediary TIES of Kenya was promising but the technical mentor in Nairobi tragically passed away at a young age leaving the future of the project up in the air.
