E4N Foundation, has been working in with marginalised communities in rural areas of Kenya and Uganda.We have seen tremendous expansion of our projects and coverage areas.
In Pokot,we intend to setup a community IT centre that will serve students,teachers and the community at large.In the region where we work,people have to move a distance of 40km just to photocopy an ID!
The community centre will provide basic computer training where people who successful complete the course will get certificate besides being a research centre for students.
We have already got a building which was donated by the community but we don't have computers,networking devices and medium.
The total cost of project is anticipated to be $1500.
Do you have any ideas on how we can raise this amount. Kindly hep us!
