Dear Donors,
Warm greetings from IDEA Foundation...
Computer literacy has become an integral part of our lives now...Our beneficiaries were well prepared for this day..Thanks to all of you who made it possible for them to manage the crisis in this difficult phase of our life.
IDEA had started computer literacy programs for women with a vision to equip them with a skill which can make them employable. We have trained thousands of women from poor educational and financial background. We never expected that one day our life will become so dependent on computers. We are glad to see that these women are using their computer knowledge in managing day to day life in lock down, by sharing their knowledge with their families and also as an important pillar of support to their children to continue education online.
We are giving training on how to use different apps for our current needs. We have conducted sessions on how to use Google meet and Zoom. We have also provided information on cyber security and the importance of taking care when children are using internet. Every day new apps and technologies are coming up, we try our best to keep our beneficiaries updated to make their life easier in this pandemic. Our social workers are dedicated and available to them always to clarify their doubts and help them
Yes, at least they are not so helpless. They know how to reach out for support and to make use of the available resources provided for them by the government as well.
IDEA while continuing with online platforms, gives training to new students through the available resources. These women who were already trained in their communities are of great help to new students. However, IDEA computer centres remain closed due to the nature of spread of the infection and the strict lock down regulations imposed in the state of Maharashtra as a preventive response to curtail the rapid community spread of the virus.
Thank you very much for your continuous support.
