    In today's fast-paced digital age, access to quality education should be a fundamental right, not a privilege. Yet, millions of students in low-income communities find themselves on the wrong side of a growing digital divide, where limited access to technology and online resources hinders their educational prospects. In 2021, The World Bank report indicated that learning poverty had worsened, with global rate estimated to have risen to 70% due to the compounded effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a sharp increase from the pre COVID-19 pandemic rate of 53%. Therefore, the need to bridge this gap has never been more urgent. So, how do we create a level playing field in digital education for all? In this article, I explore practical solutions to address the digital divide in low-income communities, and highlight how we can empower students in low-income communities with the digital skills they need for a brighter future. If you're passionate about education, digital education, or social impact, this one is for you! Let’s bridge the gap in education together! #education #digitaldivide #digitalinclusion #digitaleducation #digitalliteracy #edtech #socialimpact #equityineducation

    🗣️ "IT'S OUR SELFISHNESS, RATHER THAN SELFLESSNESS, THAT'S HOLDING US BACK IN AFRICA" 🌍 This powerful statement from SONDE Oluwatobi, the founder of DELIC, strikes at the heart of a significant issue facing our continent. Africa is a land of immense potential, brimming with talent, untapped resources, and opportunities. Yet, time and again, we see progress hindered by narrow self-interests. To unlock our true potential, we must foster a culture of selflessness and community-mindedness. Imagine the transformative impact if more leaders and individuals prioritized the collective good over personal gain. We would see greater innovation, sustainable development, and a more equitable distribution of resources. Selfishness limits our ability to work together, share knowledge, and build communities that thrive on mutual support and the Africa that we want. To move forward, we need to embrace selflessness, prioritizing collective growth over individual gain. Selflessness isn't just a noble idea—it's a necessity for true development that we need in Africa. When we prioritize the well-being of our communities and work together towards common goals, we lay the foundation for sustainable growth and innovation. Let's challenge ourselves to rise above selfishness, act with empathy, support one another, build a future where our shared success is the measure of true progress, invest in each other’s growth, support collaborative initiatives, and work towards a shared vision of prosperity. Let's reflect on how we can shift from self-interest to a more community-oriented mindset. By fostering a spirit of selflessness, collaboration, supporting each other, and prioritizing the greater good, we can unlock Africa's full potential and create lasting change. The future of Africa depends on our ability to be selfless, to work together, and to uplift one another. Above all, let's make selflessness our guiding principle. #leadership #selflessness #community #africa #futuregrowth #collaboration #communitybuilding #agenda2063 #sustainabledevelopment

    🌍 BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE WITH CIRCULAR DESIGN THINKING AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLES In today's rapidly evolving world, access to quality digital education is crucial for empowering communities and fostering sustainable development. However, many low-income communities still face significant barriers to accessing the necessary technology and resources. This is where CIRCULAR DESIGN THINKING and the CIRCULAR ECONOMY come into play, offering innovative solutions to make digital education more accessible and sustainable. CIRCULAR DESIGN THINKING focuses on creating products and systems that are regenerative and sustainable. By applying these principles to digital education, we can: 🔄 Extend the lifecycle of digital devices through refurbishment, reusing and repurposing, making technology more affordable and reducing electronic waste. 🔧 Promote repairability by designing educational tools that are durable and easy to repair, ensuring they last longer and reducing the need for frequent replacements. 🤝 Foster collaboration and establish local repair workshops and partnerships with stakeholders, empowering communities to maintain their own digital infrastructure and develop valuable skills. 🌱 Integrate sustainability education by including lessons on circular economy principles in the curriculum, raising awareness about sustainability and inspiring future leaders to adopt and advocate for eco-friendly practices. By embracing the CIRCULAR ECONOMY, we can create closed-loop systems that minimise waste and maximise resource efficiency. This approach not only makes digital education more cost-effective but also ensures that we are building a more sustainable and resilient future for all. Attending yesterday's AIIDEV Africa SDG-AMP Workshop Series 4 on Design Thinking and Innovation, with a particular focus Circular Design Thinking, was truly enlightening. It prompted deeper reflection on my approach to digital education, providing me with invaluable insights and strategies for achieving the mission and realising the vision of Project DELIC. Let’s collaborate to extend the advantages of digital education to every corner of Africa and beyond, employing innovative and sustainable methods to narrow the digital gap and shape the Africa we envision, thus contributing to the realisation of the African Union's 2063 Agenda—The Africa We Want. #circulareconomy #designthinking #circulardesignthinking #dgitaleducation #sustainability #edtech #communityempowerment #innovation #digitaleducationforall #sustainabledevelopment #digitaldivide #bridgingthegap

    WHO PLAYS THE MAJOR ROLE IN ACCELERATING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)? Is it the Government? Youths? Private companies? NGOs? Schools or Universities? Religious organisations? Many Nigerians, or better still, Africans, often believe that achieving the SDGs is solely the responsibility one sector more than the other, neglecting our collective role in these efforts. However, from yesterday's AIIDEV Africa SDGs-AMP Workshop Series 3, my belief and conviction that accelerating the SDGs requires contributions from all sectors was reaffirmed and reinforced. It’s clear that collaboration and collective action from every part of society are crucial to driving sustainable and impactful change. Every sector—government, youths, private companies, NGOs, schools or universities, and religious organisations—must play a part in this mission. Let’s all join hands and take active roles in advancing the SDGs for a better future. Africa is ours to build, and only together can we create sustainable and impactful change, and build the Africa that we want. #SDGs #globalgoals #sustainabledevelopment #collaboration #communityengagement #impactfulchange
