More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Yumbo, Colombia is a small village whose population lives under poverty. With little investment in education, children attending 4th and 5th grade face the following challenges: limited access to ICTs and insufficient math/science skills that are required for them to attend middle school. We seek to provide these vulnerable kids access to computers in order to strengthen their competencies in math and science subjects, ensuring their admission to secondary education.
Activities
- Provide children with access to ICTs and softwares
- Innovative and interactive educational training for students and teachers
- Usage of PC didactic material to teach math concepts
- Using Internet as a research tool
- Connect to the world

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
This project will serve 60 children directly and 900 people indirectly closing the digital gap that exists between children in rural areas and children from the city. Digital inclusion and math education will help them access secondary education.
Project Message
Addressing the educational needs of poor rural children is the best investment we can make to enable them to build their own progress and find a better future out of poverty and ignorance.

Imagine the internet experience for the first timeĀsense the joy of finally being connected to the world!
Using a computer has become part of our daily routines, we check our e-mail more than twice a day, we read the latest headlines, and we google any question to get an immediate response!
In today’s globalized world, digital inclusion is key to enhance a better education and to promote a prosperous future for children.
The sixty children in Yumbo are anxiously waiting for their opportunity to use a computer. Our goal is yet to be accomplished and we hope that with your valuable help we can make the dream of these children a reality!
