Project Description - Please explain about your project and how you will use the laptops (*): Soma Kwa Furaha Initiative (SKFI) is a community-based organization in Mwanza, Tanzania, dedicated to empowering vulnerable children especially those with special needs through inclusive education, healthcare, and social support. With Tech4Inclusion, our goal is to bridge the digital divide by equipping our learning centers and partner schools with laptops and digital learning tools. Many of the children we serve have limited or no access to educational technology, which widens the inequality gap and hinders their potential. Through this Labdoo project, we aim to: • Improve learning outcomes for children with disabilities and from disadvantaged backgrounds. • Provide accessible digital content tailored for inclusive learning. • Train teachers and caregivers to use educational technology effectively. • Create a child-friendly digital hub within our community our “EduVillage” where no child is left behind. Your donated laptops will help transform lives by making quality, inclusive, and joyful learning a reality for children in Mwanza. Together, we can use technology to build an inclusive future—one child at a time 3. Number of students(*):45 4. Number of teachers(*):6 5.
