Changing Lives Through Digital Literacy Program
Computer literacy is at the heart of everything we do, it–literally–connects us to the world! We take technology and learning to where it really matters and where it can make a difference in the lives of individuals and hence, families.
Craft Silicon Foundation is committed to sustainable development, prosperity and poverty reduction to address the hardship, high poverty levels and interconnected challenges that affect communities in Eastern Africa through access to digital skills and competence.
Our primary target group is the Youth – irrespective of tribe, age, gender, education background, social, economic & political inclinations.
INSIGHT ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This continuous campaign promotes Digital literacy and provides Access to ICT infrastructure through Solar powered computer buses. Students enrolled in the program go through a Legolas and up-to-date course in ICT, followed by advanced training in Graphics and web design, Software Development, Cyber security, Networking as well as Communication and soft skills. Certification is done on successful completion of the program.
Free Digital Literacy program is meant to bridge the wide divisions between those with real access to Information and Communications Technology and those without. Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are increasingly becoming a foundation of our societies and economies, the Digital Divide means that the "information have-nots" are denied the option to participate in new ICT jobs, in e-government, in ICT-improved healthcare, and in ICT enhanced education.
Free training in Information Technology & Internet Services.
