Kenyan Orphan Support - Empowering Through Education Closing the Digital Divide

Our project goal with Closing the Digital Divide is to help schools and the community of Meru, Kenya to break the cycle of poverty by empowering people through education. Closing the Digital Divide will Support Children and create Self-Reliance through education and use of computers. In one of the schools, we refurbished a modern computer lab with 13 computers and furniture, connected it to the internet and continue to employ a computer tutor to serve the three schools. The computer lab is serving a population of about 1,000 children and over 100 teachers in the schools including the wider community of approximately 20,000 residents. Our project will help children and members of the community to get easier access to the educational programs and the curriculum they need to become self-sufficient.
