Digital Bridges with Zee Tech Foundation

Status: Ongoing

Country: Nigeria

Partner: Zee Tech Foundation

Impact goal: 25 students

About the project

The Digital Bridges: Literacy, Connectivity, Access, and Safety Project builds on the success of the EDASE initiative by addressing key challenges like limited connectivity, lack of devices, and insufficient community engagement. The project aims to enhance digital literacy, accessibility, and online safety in underserved communities through key initiatives.

Updates

The project kick-off has taken place. The first beneficiaries of the Mobile Hub Initiative have been identified, starting with a group of people with disabilities. Zee Tech Foundation will provide them with devices and ensure they receive training on digital literacy and online safety.

All the necessary items have been purchased, including the solar generator, the solar setup for the learning center, and the laptops.

The Zee Tech Foundation team have also visited the Almajiri home. The visit confirmed that many of the children had never used a computer before, and therefore also know little about online safety.
