Bridge the Digital Divide: Help Us Get 20 Laptops

A microproject by GROWGH EDU INITIATIVE
Bridge the Digital Divide: Help Us Get 20 Laptops

Summary

With the German Embassy's support, we opened our first ICT lab, providing one government school with essential devices. Yet, challenges persist. At Kokrobite School, a critical shortage of computers hampers students' ability to learn independently. In classrooms where sharing a single device among 3-4 students is common, the digital divide widens, leaving these students at a disadvantage. Empower Kokrobite students with a $180 laptop. Your support bridges the gap, fostering their future growth.

Long-Term Impact

Initially, the project will empower students annually with job-relevant IT and Soft Skills. Long-term goals include establishing standardized IT Labs across Ghana to enhance pupils' job prospects and competitiveness in the global market. This initiative enables students to break free from informal labor cycles and make a positive impact on Ghanaian society. Donors are welcome to contribute by gifting devices to support our cause.
