Started in 1880, World ORT is today operational in 37 countries and helps around 300 000 students around the world. Specialised in technology, our mission is to provide communities wherever they are, with the skills and knowledge necessary to cope with the complexities and uncertainties of their environment.
Education helps people realize their dreams, become who they want to be. Education empowers poorer communities, giving them the opportunity to grow and become self-sufficient. It’s also about sharing and connecting, to learn from each other.
Watch this video to see World ORT’s impact on education across the world.
Helping blind people access the information revolution
Students at ORT Argentina’s Almagro School have developed and built an ingenious electromechanical device to help visually impaired people learn Braille and enable them to read any digitised text – and all for a fraction of the cost of similar devices on the market. Watch this slick video to see why Agustin Strusberg, Maximiliano Drab, Ezequiel Naidich and Matias Bergerman’s answer to exclusion from the information revolution is such a deserving winner of this year’s World ORT Gina and Joseph Harmatz Award for Social Responsibility (visit goo.gl/YHUjUL for more details.)

These 22 incredible YOUniversity students from Dimona, Israel, visited us at ORT House Conference Centre in London this week. They were on their way home after competing at the FIRST Lego League International Open Championship at the University of Bath (where they came an amazing 12th out of more than 90 teams from 35 countries) and gave us a demo of the robots they'd designed. Congratulations!
