Two generations come together and adapt to the changing digital landscape. Embracing digital tools, they are working together to improve their lives and inspire others to do the same.
In the heart of Ziro, a small town filled with big dreams, a remarkable tale of empowerment unfolds. Kuru Sunya and her son Kuru Horchi, a dynamic duo are defying stereotypes and embracing the power of education.
Their journey began at Digital Empowerment Foundation, ZIRO Valley CIRC offering computer training. Despite the challenges of daily life, Kuru Sunya, a dedicated homemaker, and part-time farmer, seized the opportunity to expand her horizons.

But Kuru Sunya’s ambitions did not stop there. Leveraging her newfound knowledge, she ventured into entrepreneurship, crafting and selling garments online. With her son by her side, they navigated the intricacies of e-commerce, showcasing the power of familial support and collaboration.
Their story is a testament to the belief that age is no barrier to learning and growth. In a world driven by technology, Kuru Sunya’s transformation from a novice to a tech-savvy entrepreneur sends a powerful message: education knows no bounds.
Their journey not only embodies the spirit of resilience but also highlights the pivotal role of digital community centers in fostering empowerment. Through initiatives like these, individuals like Kuru Sunya and Kuru Horchi are given the tools to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
