​In partnership with the Naivasha Technical Training Institution (NTTI), we are able to facilitate learning through the provision of ICT for schools and businesses in the Rift Valley.

Access to ICT is helping to transform the lives of young individuals; including Joseph and Kelvin who are studying electrical engineering and banking/finance at college, but who were previously were living on the streets. Thanks to the NTTI both boys can now use their laptops for their studies.

We strive to continuously sustain our ambition of providing an inspired future for the younger generation of Africans, through the pathway of education. 

"In today’s digital economy, being able to use modern technology and navigate the Internet should be considered as important as English and Maths. But too many people struggle to get by." Karen Bradley MP

Digital exclusion is the inability to access online products or services or to use simple forms of digital technology. Lack of basic digital skills could include the ability to use a search engine to find information, complete online application forms, manage money or solve a problem using a digital service. This disproportionately affects vulnerable people, low-income groups, the elderly and the more marginalised communities in our society.

IT Schools Africa Community IT Outreach Programme is supporting local, grassroots community organisations and youth groups by donating good quality refurbished computers. We also help the local community with IT support, training and troubleshooting.

​At the Cornerstone Centre in Cheltenham many users asked for assistance with general IT skills, checking and sending emails, printing and using the internet. These users range from young to old. Many have additional needs, learning difficulties or suffer with mental health issues. In addition, children from the homework club benefit greatly from access to computers as they do not have access to computers at home.

GL11 Community Hub commented “At least 100 people use the donated computers each week, from young vulnerable children, people with mental health problems and disabled people. Your donation was truly invaluable to us."

We want to reduce digital exclusion in our community and develop the Community IT Outreach Programme.
