– Malala Yousafzai.
In the digital era, we underscore the significance of children having access to personal computers. Computers have become the modern-day equivalents of pens, enabling people to communicate and pursue their dreams.
However, it's important to note that many of our children do not own personal PCs. Instead, they have the opportunity to use them in pairs at our learning center. In the case of the orphanage we support, the children share a single PC, and volunteers often bring their own laptops to assist them.
In today's increasingly digital world, it is imperative for children to develop digital literacy skills from a young age. Proficiency in using a computer, navigating the internet safely, and utilizing software and productivity tools is essential for success in the modern workforce.
Personal computers serve as windows to the world, granting access to a wealth of educational resources and online courses. Children can harness these resources to research topics for school projects, complete homework assignments, and acquire new skills.
Many professions today demand computer skills, making early exposure to computers advantageous for children in their future careers. Whether it's coding, graphic design, or data analysis, familiarity with computers is often a prerequisite for numerous professions.
If you would like to contribute, you have the option to donate your unused or refurbished PC during the NodeConf event, where we will be in attendance. Alternatively, you can contact us via our website to arrange a donation. Your generosity has the potential to create a significant positive impact on the lives of these children.
