Projects:

1} Schools ICT Project:
This targets schools children and Secondary schools students who are trained in basic computer skills, programming and maintenance. This is aimed at equipping the young generation with IT skills at a tender age, which will enable them transform their own societies.
Under this scheme, rural schools are connected with those outside Africa through Internet – Based services for the rural school children.

2} Village e Learning Project:

If information is power, then the provision of low cost access to information infrastructure equals empowering the marginalized rural people, availing them with opportunities to access foreign markets for the sale of locally produced items like crafts and agricultural produce.

The Village e learning project entails training and equipping rural people with IT skills to enable them tap foreign markets for their products and overcome unscrupulous middlemen who usually exploit them and deplete their profit margins.
Within this framework, farmers’ groups, Women’s’ Associations and Youth Clubs are taught the art of web designing and Internet communication to enable them access International markets and opportunities. This is hoped to tackle the problem of inadequate markets and unemployment in the long run.
