Computers for youths

Comment on this project

The Idea:

What will change in the world because this Project happens?

Under the Youth empowerment program of Christian Fellowship and Care Foundation, Computers for Youths aims to close the gap in terms of education and opportunities. In areas where 75% of families do not own a personal computer in their homes, we hope that by establishing a computer center for youths in our community and utilizing educational software this would enhance learning and youth interest in computer age.

What information will people interact with to make this change?

The service would be provided free to every underserve youth, only the parent's participation and input in their child's academics.
