We supply tablets and connectivity (either 4G or WiFI) and equipment (computers or tablets) to children that doesn't have access to virtual education due to their household income and the isolation conditions. We will enable their education and reduce school drop-outs by up to 40%.
There are hundreds of thousands of children of all ages in Colombia that doesn't have internet connectivity nor access to virtual education. Isolated makes even more difficult the life to these children and families depriving them of the possibility of accessing virtual education. Each day more and more of these children are left out of the educational system making it really difficult to progress in their communities.
EDUCAITON provides equipment and connectivity to children allowing them to continue or start their virtual education. These children will have autonomy to connect to their virtual education material. Children that own their laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection have 40% more chance to stay in school and become a productive citizen. We will be improving education in Villa de Leyva, Cogua, El Cocuy, Santa and Bogota.
The project will allow at least 160 children and their families living in rural areas of Colombia or living in orphanages, to have continuous access to internet and to the virtual public education system. This will allow the kids to become productive individuals and positively contribute to their communities.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
