This project aims to improve digital literacy among the unskilled, school, and college dropout girls in the marginalized rural and semi-urban areas of Faisalabad, which is alarmingly low (1%) in approximately 70% of the country.
Through the established computer training center, 10 girls recently enrolled in the digital literacy course. After completing the course, they aim to look for better opportunities and have taken steps to improve their skills by enrolling in digital learning sessions. The basic computer literacy taught by AWARD has proven to be a foundational and vital step for them to improve their socioeconomic condition and become part of the market.
AWARD also aims to open up more computer literacy centers in the rural areas of Punjab to make digital literacy known and practiced among women in rural communities. This could only be possible if the technology is exposed to the community.
