This project will provide 2 months of computer training to 50 students - helping them to acquire the essential computer skills needed for success in today's computer-driven society. The students who will receive the computer training come from disadvantaged homes that do not have computers. The training will broaden their horizons, exposing them to a new world of learning - complementing their education and preparing them for future success.
Due to financial limitations, many children and youths in Sierra Leone have no access to computers or computer learning opportunities. This training is in great demand, providing a much-needed foundation to make one's self a valuable employee in a growing economy. Inexperience with computer technology makes the job market and economic opportunities very limited.
Learning opportunities provided through our computer labs are helping to prepare kids and youths for success in our computer-enabled and connected society. Computer training will help prepare the students for success in our technology-driven world.
Computer training is an effective long-term investment, helping to eradicate poverty by enhancing education, broadening options and offering new opportunities. It offers great potential in terms of exposing the students to much-needed computer technology and related opportunities. This exposure is helping to prepare the students for our technology-aided world and for positions of future leadership.
