Umran Green School (UGS) is an innovative online language and culture school and non-profit organization that aims to provide high-quality language education to marginalized and under-resourced learners worldwide. Through collaborations with global organizations, UGS seeks to eliminate linguistic and cultural barriers and empower learners with the tools they need to succeed.
Since its establishment in April 2020, UGS has expanded rapidly, offering courses in over 10 languages.

The goal of the UGS Language Scholarship is to provide language courses to low-income students in order for them to further their education and find better employment opportunities. Because languages play an important role in any opportunity, whether it is for personal development, a job, or further education, UGS wants to ensure that every marginalized student who cannot afford language course fees of the market, receives language course as well. Most city schools offer at least one foreign language, but village schools do not. UGS is attempting to provide these opportunities to them.
This Language Program has proven to be particularly helpful for girls and women and students from remote areas who cannot travel to other cities owing to restrictions, who are unable to attempt a course that is too expensive in the education market, or who have had to abandon their studies.
Umran Green School Language program focuses on:
- Skill development of learners, helping them to secure academic and employment opportunities in their respective fields while encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship.
- A particular focus on youth, particularly women, rural and marginalized populations.
- Consciousness about shared societal issues relating to environment, women’s empowerment, humanitarian aid, and international collaboration.
- Cultural exchange and exploration via language learning, promoting an atmosphere of solidarity amongst various communities, nations, religions and civilizations.
- A culture of diversity achieved by bringing into communication motivated individuals from around the globe.
- Exposure to an international academic environment.
This Language Course is created in collaboration with the Umran Culture Program that includes a discussion on language learning and culture studies. The program consists of an open forum, education, lecture, social, cultural, and spiritual development training, and an opportunity for students to give a presentation with the help of our qualified educators. This program provides both urban and rural girls and boys, men and women, worldwide and high-quality knowledge, allowing them to communicate.
