This project will solve the problem of computer illiteracy for Anita. Through providing this computer, Anita 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, install training software and ship it to Freetown. This project will provide direct access to a computer for use by Anita. Access to this computer will open up a new world of option - including obtaining a job, 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.
