Consistent access to computer technology, training and computers is the game changer that will help leap frog Africa to the future.
For many years, the Digital Divide and access to technology has limited growth and development in Africa. Technology, when rightfully used, offers a wide range of advantages from better health care to access to advanced training and research.
Basic Computer Training: Through the labs that we run and support, children and youths are learning how to use computers - preparing them for competence and productivity in our computer society.
Our first computer lab was launched at the FAWE Girls school in May 2012, thanks to a grant from Chase Community Giving.
In January 2015, we launched the second computer lab at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone office, thanks to a grant from GlobalGiving. This lab catered initially to pregnant girls who were out of school during the Ebola crisis. The lab currently is open to all ages - photos below. The courses run for 4-6 weeks and an average of 70 students complete each session/period, with 8 sessions a year
We are also helping to support computer training at the CAPEC school in Cameroon.
We welcome the partnership of organizations / businesses inteersted in helping to launch or support computer training.
