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.

Bob - Sussex
Bob was referred to CfC by a local Mental Health agency and
attends of his own choosing. He attended a school for children with
special needs and experienced bullying to the extent of bricks
being thrown at him.
Bob has suffered from mental health issues for much of his life
and though independent, .Still lives at home with his older brother
and parents well into their 70's.
Bob writes about his CfC volunteering 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.CfC offers a safe place for such
people to grow!
