The United Nation Global Goals

Goal # 4 Quality Education- Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
The EDU in Inspiredu is very intentional. Our mission is focused on digital skills education and not just access to computers. We
understand the importance of tooling our community with the most essential resources, but we also know that even more important is the education and understanding of how to use those resources.

Goal #8 Decent Work and Economic Growth: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
In today’s job landscape, digital education is essential for economic mobility. At Inspiredu, we provide career development programs designed to help individuals acquire the professional skills they need to enter the workforce.

Goal #9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Atlanta is a growing city with new industries, thriving innovation, and a very complex infrastructure. Inspiredu continues to host workshops and develop partnerships that link to the growth of our community. From our collaborative work with MARTA to providing digital skill training to industry professionals, Inspiredu is a key connector in growing our community.

Goal #10 Reduced Inequalities: Reduce inequality within and among countries.
Many families lack access to a computer or live in “digital deserts” with minimal broadband access. Our programs ensure that high-need communities have equal access to digital tools and education.

Goal #11 Sustainable Cities and Communities: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
In an increasingly digital world, people need the right skills to fully access essential services such as transportation, healthcare, and employment. We’re committed to providing digital education opportunities to underserved communities in Georgia to bridge the divide.

Goal #12 Responsible Consumption and Production: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
All of the devices we distribute to program participants are refurbished, and those that are non-functioning are either rebuilt by a team of dedicated volunteers or properly recycled in order to keep them out of Georgia landfills.
