Candlelight School seeks to end poverty and bridge the Digital Divide by providing primary school students with essential computer skills that will empower their educational and vocational future.
Currently, none of the students at Candlelight have access to computers. The era of globalization and information technology demands computer literacy. This will be the first computer lab in the Matopeni neighborhood and a crucial educational tool for the disadvantaged children that Candlelight serves.
Candlelight School will facilitate the installation of this computer lab. The installation phase includes acquiring appropriate hardware, software and necessary technical expertise.
We invite you to partner with us by connecting the vital resources of technology and information to the critical educational needs of children in Nairobi. This connection and relationship ultimately leads to breaking the cycle of poverty.
Computer training will be a regular class for students. Upon graduation, this training will set Candlelight students apart in the local job market and beyond.
- Fred Afwai, Country Director and Co-Founder of Candlelight
