Empower Educate Econnect CommunitiesBringing ICT to the Community

ICT ACTIVIST SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR

DIGITAL DIVIDE TRANSFORMATION ENABLER

We believe we are at a point where ACCESS & COMPUTER LITERACY

is a basic right. Just like reading & writing.Without it, you are locked out,

unable to access many other human rights

LEARNING IN THE 21st CENTURYThe learning of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot

learn, unlearn, and relearn




THE OBJECTIVE

Siyafunda CTC is a public place where people can access Computers, the Internet, and other

digital technologies that enable them to gather information, create, learn, and

communicate with others while they develop essential digital skills. The focus is on the use of digital technologies to support community,

economic, educational, and social development—reducing isolation, bridging the

digital divide, promoting health issues, creating economic opportunities, and reaching

out to youth.




UNLOCKING POTENTIAL

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to

do.

It lets people be creative.

It lets people be productive.

It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about

potential.
