Project Report | May 7, 2019

Dear Project Supporters,

Thanks in part to your support six months of computer training was provided to 44 young adults that were directly and indirectly affected by the flood and mudslide disaster in Aug 2017.  Of the 44 students, 28 of them received certificates of completion at a Certificate Award Ceremony held this past month.

Four students were given the opportunity to speak on behalf of their colleagues to show their appreciation for the training received. Each of them was full of praise for the patience shown, professionalism demonstrated and for the conducive learning environment provided.  

We started from a basic introduction, because some of the students in the initial stage did not know the different parts of the computer, right through to internet access,” the program manager said; adding that they can now boast of completing the course in MS Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, Internet among others.

Proficiency in computers is necessary for success in today's technology-driven society.   We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here to help more students bridge the digital divide. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

 

With great appreciation, 

Amy & The Develop Africa Team
