Four Women's Technology Centers (I'x CETEBIs) are now fully operational in strategically located rural communities. Each is open seven days a week and is staffed by two volunteer operators from the community that have received a training program. These volunteers receive a small payment for their time, but the largest return is the chance to learn new skills while helping the development of their community.
As of this writing, the impact of these centers includes: --9 community micro-lending groups are using the technology centers to keep track of their finances --80 people are receiving computer training in each center --The centers are also being used for literacy training, with 70 women enrolled. --In addition to technology training, the women are receiving training in Methods for Social Change.
