Learning computer skills is vital in today's world

Teens in the Namuwongo slum have limited to no access to computers. This puts them at a great disadvantage for jobs, government programs, using the internet, and other important skills for our modern age. Our Digital Literacy program bridges this gap for young women and men in our community, advancing their skill set and knowledge.
