OUR STORY
The Arman Roy Foundation was established June 2019 in honor of Arman Roy, who tragically passed away on April 9, 2019. Arman was always smiling, had a selfless way of helping others, and an extraordinary gift for technology that he loved to share with everyone. Even before he could tie his shoelaces, Arman mastered it all effortlessly…computers, drones, virtual reality, solar panels, robotics, programming, bitcoin, blockchain, and smart everything! He also realized how fortunate he was to access the wonder, adventure, and opportunity of technology. In 2017, he read an article highlighting that 70% of Detroit’s school aged children had no internet, and how local community organizations were solving the problem by installing high speed internet that beamed shared gigabit connections into the neighborhood homes. He knew this could be done anywhere – and said “Dad this is the kind of work I want to do”. In Hindi, Arman’s name means HOPE.. and his bright, beautiful spirit lives on in the work we are inspired to do through the Arman Roy Foundation, a charity dedicated to giving the gift of technology to youth who need our help to create a more hopeful future.
