📱 While 94% of Kenyan households own a mobile phone, only 11% have access to a computer - dropping to just 4% in rural areas. This stark digital divide risks leaving many children behind in our increasingly connected world (learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dkpfhXk5). At Friends of Fizi Kabiria, we're working to bridge this gap. Thanks to our generous donors, we've established computer facilities and reliable Internet access at Fizi School in Nairobi, empowering students and teachers with vital digital literacy skills for the 21st century. But there's more work to be done. Every child deserves the opportunity to develop digital skills crucial for today's workforce and tomorrow's opportunities. Want to help close the digital divide?
