This article about a non-profit is currently only sourced to the organisation's own website and to a BBC article that provides a WP:PASSING mention that a group of hackers donated money to the organisation. The only other sources I was able to find were a WP:HUFFPOCON op-ed by the organisation's CEO [1], a WP:MEDIUM interview with the CEO [2], and a few press releases like these [3] [4], none of which would be considered independent. It was also featured in the 'nonprofit spotlight' section of Philanthropy News Digest in 2018 [5], but this seems more like a repackaging of information from their website rather than anything that could be considered SIGCOV. Overall it seems like an charity that's doing great work, but I don't see anything that suggests it meets WP:NONPROFIT. MCE89 (talk) 13:01, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: Unicef and various giving websites mention this project, but nothing for RS we can use. Sourcing in the article is primary, so not helping notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
