Our Projects
SDG 4: Quality Education
Phase i: Bridging the digital divide
The first project that we have undertaken in Darjeeling is “Bridging Digital Divide”, through which we set up a community computer learning center in a village. This is done in collaboration with the local community which provides us with space and volunteers to run the center. We have chosen to set up the centers in the community and not provide them to schools as due to COVID-19 the schools are closed and the second reason is that the schools are closed during weekends and holidays. By setting up at the community level we ensure children have access to learning computers throughout the year.
