Adopting Schools
It all started with “Adopt a light”, an
ambitious city lighting project. Now, Manu Chandaria, industrialist cum
philanthropist wants to apply the same concept in ICTs.
Speaking at the ICT for Development
Expo opening ceremony on February 7, Chandaria challenged Kenyans to
adopt schools and make sure they can access computers.
“You can change the face of your village
school. Just go there and donate a computer. You can change the face of
Kenya,” Chandaria
said.
He also disclosed that he will finance a
digital training centre in Mariakani. The centre will be expected to act
as a base to establish digital villages in coastal area. One digital
village will cost approximately shs 140,000 (USD 2000).
