About Us
Welcome to LiteHaus International!
Founded by Jack Growden, we are a not for profit organisation making a contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 4 - Quality Education
During recent trips to the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, our founder and chairman, Jack Growden, was inspired by the progressive, kind, and generous nature of the local people, particularly their children and was struck by their passion for learning.
Unfortunately these children face difficulties attaining the education they dream of. Some children walk more than three hours to school every day.
To help overcome these obstacles which keep children from achieving their dreams, Jack donated his own personal laptop to a fantastic school in the Highlands. And so began the LiteHaus journey.
Now, we have completed three computer labs in Papua New Guinea and we have a multinational presence in Uganda and Pakistan too.
Our Work
Currently, LiteHaus International is working towards improving the pursuit of education for students in Papua New Guinea, Uganda and Pakistan by supporting their respective needs.
- Laptops/Personal Computers: the bulk of our funding is used to source professionally maintained and restored laptops to give children access to digital education and open up a world of opportunities at their fingertips.
- Stationery: to enhance children's educational experiences, we aim to donate notebooks, pens, pencils, and erasers to every student at each of our project schools.
- USB drives: to give children a sense of ownership and possession over their education, we aim to provide an 8GB USB drive to each student we reach.
Our People
Fulfilling our mission is only possible with the help of an incredible management board, led by our founder, Jack Growden, and our outstanding sponsors.
LiteHaus is driven by a small group of passionate volunteers determine to reach as many children as possible.
We are supported by a number of wonderful North Queensland small businesses, and people from all around the world who share our passion for learning and making a contribution to the world.
We consider all of our supporters to be a part of the LiteHaus journey.
