GeeLearn’s Social Mission GeeLearn’s social mission is centered around the
delivery of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM), and in
particular science education, to children in developing OECD countries.
Leveraging our strengths as an innovator in online learning design, development,
delivering, and funding, we volunteer our skills and energy and partner with
organizations to deliver STEAM education to children in these developing
nations, starting with Colombia. In 2020, after an intense 5-year review,
Colombia was welcomed as the newest OECD member. In 2021, GeeLearn Ltd.
Partnered with the Children’s University at the University of EAFIT (Universidad
de Los Ninos de Universidad Escuela de Administración, Finanzas Instituto
Tecnológico) in order to volunteer its skills, knowledge, and talents to
expanding the reach of Children’s University via digital learning throughout not
only Colombia but the whole of Latin America. Background of GeeLearn Ltd. and
its Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative: Online Science Education for

of GeeLearn Ltd. represents a social good and comprises a major part of the
company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative over a period of

the OECD. Colombia became an official member of the OECD in 2020, the
37thcountry to do so in the organization’s 60-year history. The directors of
GeeLearn Ltd. have identified 6 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that its
volunteer cooperation with EAFIT’s Universidad de Los Ninos touches upon and
will help Colombia achieve. These include:
