Our Impact

Our work aims to improve outcomes for students, teachers, and entrepreneurs by providing them with technology and training. This is something we have worked towards for over 20 years, whether working at a school with electricity but no ICT infrastructure, or a community centre with aspiring-youth, but limited facilities.

To date, here are some of the ways our work has benefitted individuals and communities:

PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • 22 Solar Hubs created and installed in public community areas, youth centres or schools
  • 75 Schools equipped with fully functioning computer laboratories
  • Over 108,500 direct beneficiaries (49% Male, 51% Female)
  • Average Digital Schools project has over 13,800 direct beneficiaries across all schools
  • Average Solar Hub project has over 450 direct beneficiaries per year at a school or community space
A teacher helps a student on a computer
Fully functioning computer laboratories: On average contain 20 computers, 1 teacher laptop, 1 projector, 1 printer and other assistive technology such as speakers and headphones.

TRAINING

  • Over 3,562 respective ICDL module assessments
  • Over 2,102 ICDL modules passed and certified (67% Female, 33% Male)
  • Over 545 students certified in ICDL modules
  • Over 215 teachers certified in ICDL modules
  • Over 1,740 student assessments in ICDL modules
  • Over 795 beneficiaries certified in ICDL
  • On average, a beneficiary passes 3 ICDL modules across all our projects
A group of teachers engage in training on computers
Some of our projects have worked exclusively with females and most primary school teachers in our projects are women. This is why there is a sizable disparity between the percentage of males and females being certified.
