Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Group Lending : Formalized grouping of small businesses into associations and small teams – This could be driven through the local government (as they collect levies) – Such strong and identifiable associations help de-risk lending by commercial banks.
Co operation with MFIs : By allowing the MFIs leverage on our platform to serve the micro market, we continue to partner them in financial inclusion
Co operation with Telcos: Form our experience, we have seen that this can help improve access to pension solutions at the micro level, drive inclusion through mobile money and provide access to the financial markets
Pro SME DFIs : Establishment of DFIs that have strong risk management capabilities with a pro-SME Development focus. Such DFIs should not leverage on the comfort of commercial banks to drive their lending objectives
The future…to drive SME inclusion, we are innovating along the following lines :
Digital banking, Franchising, Factoring, Contract financing, Islamic bank ( Murabaha, Ijarah etc )
In all these, we are striving to Create linkages through Corporates value chain Focus, this helps improve efficiencies and enables us leverage off the value chain visibility to de-risk the MSME sector and thus increase their access to finance.
Given that the rural geographies are not pressured by the spending and upward lifestyle in the urban, is it possible that when we build efficiencies in the rural areas, their savings can in turn become the liabilities we can use in funding the deficits in the high rise cities ?
The nature of our market is changing , we need to keep evolving our solutions for the good of our country and for the empowerment of the most vulnerable of us !!
