 Main Focus

(i) The main focus of the project is to provide affordable access to computers and ICT primarily to young people and rural communities.

(ii) To create an ICT youth focal point where youth in rural communities can access facilities, training, advice, and opportunities to participate in projects and other initiatives involving ICT.

(iii) To improve computer literacy and awareness of ICT in young people including those seeking to pursue tertiary education as a means of self improvement and opportunity for school push-out.
