“When the lights went out on our village path, I stopped walking to school. Now the map shows we were in darkness, and the story changed when we spoke.”

“My degree was in physics but my community didn’t see me. EHAN’s survey showed how light access and gender both shadowed me—and I found my voice.”

“Engineering an antenna to broadcast lessons in Mandarin and dialects felt bold. But 300 rural girls listened. That’s what data meets hope looks like.”

“I have watched invisible borders—lack of broadband, schools far away—block my dreams even when I dared to dream. Joining EHAN’s network turned those borders into bridged connections: I mapped signals of exclusion and found how my story resonated globally.”
