To address this, Project Elimu is offering computer lessons for primary and high school children to learn basic computer applications. We are offering free computer classes to meet the growing need for digital learning and promote employment. Africa suffers a digital infrastructure and a skills gaps. These gaps are likely to affect inclusive employment among the youth adversely. (The Digital Economy and Youth Employment in Africa, University of Nairobi, 2023.) For high school students, Project Elimu aims to introduce advanced computer lessons such as web designing and coding. We teach children to use the internet to be self-reliant and able to do creative problem solving, gaining valuable knowledge that schools often miss to provide.
“I rarely use smartphones and enjoy going to Project Elimu on Saturdays for computer class and educational games.” Damian
Recognizing the challenges of accessing books in slum communities, Project Elimu has set up a library with a variety of books from African publishers to provide a peaceful and supportive space for children to explore engaging books and learn. We have 100 children benefiting from this program.
