African Schools Online - ICT Educational Program -

Developing Sustainable ICT models

African Schools on Line (ASOL) educational programme

Enabling first time ICT Access & Opportunities to benefit Children, Schools & communities across the world!

Background:

  • Fact: Current world population figures have topped 8 billion people. Broken down 20% living in Western world countries and the remaining 80% of developing countries speaks for itself. 25% of the world's population being children & 10% older people.
  • Figures suggest 800 million+ children lack the most basic resources; access to clean drinking water access, food, medicines & education!
  • Purpose: Education contains the potential for building up sustainable communities not just in Africa. To succeed suitable locations, require the vision to improve and address educational need. If so, together the package and local vision can enable transformations through growth & sustainability.
  • Sponsorship for shipping, equipment & training remains key to making the impossible, possible. As we experienced in Zimbabwe, Kenya & Uganda providing benefits for over 100,000 children!
  • Track Record: ASOL has history and is a tested ICT (Information and Communications Technology educational program) having provided first time IT access into Secondary education across developing nations. (Born in Africa, applications worldwide)

Program Package provides:

  • Prepared computer equipment
  • Teacher training
  • Curriculum development & materials
  • Business planning
  • etc .

History:

Born in Africa. Zimbabwe to be precise ASOL has grown worldwide. A random enquiry from Stephen Ibbs of Data Developments in Wolverhampton.

"My father used to be a teacher in Zimbabwe could you supply computers for the three schools he taught"... From this beginning "African schools on line" was born and developed into an innovative educational program..., much more than sending our old computers to faraway places.

  • CfC stories

Ukrainian Association Great Britain (Eastbourne Branch)

CfC is proud to support the Association and its members since 2023 from the Eastbourne, East Sussex area. Providing space for a Hub to offer weekly meeting space. Plus enabling all year round activities for Children & adults… Support we are wanting to extend to other such groups across the locality

Bob - Sussex

Bob was referred by a local agency and attends of his own choosing. He attended a school for children with special needs and was bullied to the extent of having bricks thrown at him.

Bob has mental health issues, which have not made it easy to get a job. Still living at home with his older brother and parents well into their 70's.

Bob writes about his volunteering at CfC. Saying " I like the fact I can get up in the morning and go to work like everyone else in this world. I am allowed to function as an individual and have found a new confidence and the ability to work with others. I used to be shy and was bullied, I wouldn't say boo to anyone"

Nowadays its the opposite and a real job to stop him jabbering.

  • For many people like Bob, the outside world is not so caring and a lot more demanding.
