Oxfam mentions Sote Hub as one of the inspirational approaches to rural startup hubs for their new program "Empower Youth for Work” they just launched in four countries - Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Ethiopia. They mentioned our ideas:
1. Increase sustainability through selling services;
2. Cooperate with local government and donors through Memorandums of Understanding;
3. Help teams of young entrepreneurs to gain skills and prepare them for bigger investors;
4. Let students solve local problems or test new products;
5. Organize annual trade fairs and pitching competitions where young people can pitch to businessmen, local government and investors but don't have just NGO people in the jury;
6.Organize flexible peer-to-peer learning groups and tailor-made services for young people and girl groups;
7. Organize skype calls with outsiders and students abroad to open up minds and share expertise.

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.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

ADOPTING A BLENDED VOLUNTEERING APPROACH
In Tanzania, VSO runs projects
involving a diverse mix of
corporate, national,
international and youth
volunteers.

development they need to succeed

EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
VSO works to ensure that everyone,
especially women, youth and people with
disabilities, have access to decent
employment and market opportunities.
Technology and the digital economy are shaping how we work,
where we work, and the skills we need to work. This creates an
opportunity and a threat. VSO aims to maximise this opportunity
so that the most poor and marginalised can access decent work
and no one is left behind.
6. www.vsointernational.org
ENTERPRISE AND JOB CREATION
VSO supports small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) to grow. This
approach promotes inclusive business
development that generates decent
employment opportunities for poor
and marginalised communities.
We work with local partners, government and volunteers to
offer Business Development Services to help entrepreneurs
move their businesses into the formal economy.
