Great News - We have managed to activate internet in 3 of the hotspots we installed in the rural Nyara Villages! What a milestone! That is about 1000 users accessing the internet every day.
We continue to raise funds towards achieving our goal, which is to activate all 6 of the Nyara Villages, positively impacting a total of about 5000 villagers, bridging the digital divide! We have to increase our "internet pipeline" to activate the rest of the hotspots in the remaining 3 villages.
We have been running sefl paced digital literacy programs from our center since December 2023, a short funding opportunity provided for youth to upskill themselves in work readiness programs and basic introduction to computers and operating systems. This has been an exciting time for our rural youth to participate in empowerment initatives during their holidays.
Nyara Youth Development continues to stretch towards empowering our local youth with digital access and skills to narrow the digital gap they face daily. It is our hope that our parners will continue along this journey with us
