Background:
Barely 2 percent of the world’s population has Internet access. In more than 80 countries there are fewer than 10 telephone lines for every 100 inhabitants. Youth are the leaders in this field. If given the right support and infrastructure, they can offer many innovative approaches to promote education, health, and rural development. More alianated are youths who live in the rural areas and informal settlement/Eastlands part of th cities, where the basic rule is struggle for basic need aganist a poor enviroment.
The project is located in the poverty-striken East lands of Nairobi where access to quality and affordable IT training is impossible to find. This has left the youths in this area ignorant on how to operate even open a computer in this era of IT, for those who have been trained its time the training advanced to a new level, where there is open sessions with specialized on creative use of the computer skills. Many Youths who have been trained at the centre wait for jobs with their skills, so having more room and machine to produce other materials would expand the centre.
