The month of August has been both beautiful and fruitful, marked by the successful introduction of a new afternoon program: computer lessons for the Ezulwini Homework Club. As highlighted in our previous report, the goal of introducing computer lessons is to address the lack of access to essential resources among the youth. Digital literacy, in particular, is a critical tool that can help improve their current living conditions and open doors to future opportunities.
The objective of the program is to enhance digital literacy among young learners, equipping them with the necessary skills to actively participate in the growing digital economy. We envision these skills enabling the youth to start businesses or engage meaningfully in new digital spaces.
The children have warmly embraced the new program and are already making significant progress. They have learned basic computer skills, including typing techniques and keyboard shortcuts, laying the foundation for more advanced lessons in the future.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the British High Commission in Eswatini for their generous donation of solar panels. This contribution has been pivotal in ensuring that the computer lessons run smoothly and sustainably by providing reliable power for the Homework Club’s computers.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team, interns, and volunteers for their unwavering commitment and passion. Your hard work and belief in empowering the next generation have been instrumental in making this program a reality. Your efforts are truly inspiring, and together, we are making a positive impact in the lives of these young learners.
The success of August sets the tone for even more growth and learning in the coming months. We look forward to further empowering the children with the knowledge and skills they need to shape a better future.
