Tens of thousands of youths in Sierra Leone are computer-illiterate and have not received any instruction in or access to computers. By providing a set to 10 computers - loaded with training software - over 100 youths in the Door of Hope Community in Freetown will be able to gain computer proficiency. This is a vital skill needed for success in today's technology-driven society. They will benefit tremendously from the training provided.
This project will solve the problem of computer illiteracy for over 100 youths in the Door of Hope community. Through providing these computers, the youths will be able to learn how to use a computer extensively and benefit from computer training sessions and software.
Funds will be used to purchase 10 computers, install training software and ship them to Freetown. This project will provide direct access to 10 computers for use by the youths. This will open up their options - including employment, starting a business and pursuing other opportunities.
We have proven over the years that providing access to computers and training revolutionizes the lives of youths and opens them up to new opportunities. Technology training effectively broadens their options. This is the impact that this project will achieve in Anita's life - providing computer proficiency - a crucial key for success in today's technology-dependent society.
