Owerri Digital Village

kmccook writes “Soul Beat Africa reports on the Owerri Digital Village a community technology and learning centre in Eastern Nigeria established by Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF) to create learning communities in rural and marginalised areas in Nigeria.
YTF implements community-based technology programmes that they believe help youth develop a passion for technology and an understanding of how it can enhance their lives and improve their local communities. YTF starts with understanding the needs of the community and then focuses on how technology resources; adapted to cultural and social needs and access; can assist the community with its drive towards self sustainability. The aim is that villagers are able to use the skills acquired at the YTF digital villages to improve their lives and create jobs.”
