Empower Youths Through Computer Skills Training

As you may know, one of the areas that Develop Africa focuses on is providing the essential tools, training and resources that people in the developing world need to better themselves.  This project focuses on the specific area of providing computer training for youths - who otherwise have limited or no access to computers or training.

One of the deserving youths that we have been working with is Christiana.  She has received a scholarship through another GlobalGiving project and also is a leadership mentee.  She volunteers with Door of Hope and helps to mentor and encourage children in the community.  Christina would like to be a banker.  

Christiana is eagerly looking forward to the launching of the new computer lab that will be set up hopefully in the next year.  Currently, the floor for the lab has been completed – as you can see from the photo accompanying this report.  We have made tremendous strides over past year and YOU have been a huge part of making this progress happen.  Your support is helping to prepare a great future for the youths.  The building completion and floor tiling would not have happened without your support. Thanks again!

Save the date:  On Wednesday June 25, 2014, 12:00PM EDT - June 26, 2014 11:59AM EDT Microsoft will be matching donations to this project at 100%!  Your donation of $50 will be doubled to $100!  This is a wonderful opportunity to make your donation go further.  This will help us purchase the much-needed computer that Christiana and the other youths will use.  Thanks for helping to make the dream of computer training come true for the youths. We appreciate you!
