TUMO Center in Germany

The entrepreneurial couple Sam and Silva Simonian wanted to promote digital education for young people in Armenia. TUMO is named after the nickname of the Armenian national poet Tumanyan. The concept is now also expanding in Germany: thanks to KfW's initiative, there are already TUMO centers in Berlin, Mannheim and Hirschaid. Further TUMO centers will soon be opened in Cologne, Essen, Lüdenscheid, Düsseldorf, Saarbrücken and Frankfurt.
