In today's world, Information Technology is a key component in the success of any country. Unfortunately, the high cost of education to acquire computer related skills in certain regions around the world prevents the poor, orphans and underprivileged youth from availing these skills which are in demand.
Today UNEB which is the official examining body for schools has made computer a compulsory subject. Many schools are being challenged by the number of computers verses the number of students. The main object of the proposed project is to get a computer center for training in order to make teaching and learning environment conducive for both instructors and students for better performance and enhancing the students skills in computer.
Through our training, youth will be able to become productively engaged and better qualified to obtain jobs that they were previously unqualified for and also will help bridging the Digital Divide and level the playing field.
