Who We Are

The Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to providing high-quality education to everyone. We achieve this through:

• Developing and maintaining our free-to-use platform, Oppia
• Coordinating passionate contributors worldwide
• Forming strategic partnerships with NGOs in underserved communities

Where You Fit In

Across the globe, millions of children are deprived of the education they deserve:

• Out of 61 million children unable to attend primary school, 17 million will never step into a classroom if current trends continue
• Many face obstacles such as conflict, discrimination, and inadequate teacher training
• Post-COVID-19, disruptions have further hampered access to quality education, especially for vulnerable children

Our volunteer community has developed engaging, story-based mathematics lessons that have demonstrated significant effectiveness through research, including randomized controlled trials. Now, we aim to extend these lessons by translating them into Hindi to reach learners who speak it as a native language, as existing evidence indicates high interest among Hindi-speaking students.

Because of this need, we're looking for fluent or native-level Hindi speakers to assist with translating these educational resources.
