More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The Nkolfoulou school does not have any electricity. The village does not have any computer facilities. There are about 5000 students from neighboring schools that have never used a computer or received any training in computing skills. These facilities will improve the quality of their education – giving access to multimedia resources and training available through the internet. It will help bridge the "Digital Divide" – exposing them to a wealth of information available on the Internet
Activities
The project will set up a solar powered computer lab and access to multimedia training and the internet that will significantly increase learning opportunities and broaden the horizons of this rural community – equipping them for success.
