The Pioneer Academy located in Wayne, New Jersey, has started a Group FUNdraiser through Embrace Relief to install a water well in Tanzania. This group of students understands that there are millions of people around the world at any given moment who do not have access to clean water. This causes malnutrition, debilitating dehydration, lack of mental capacity, stunts growth, and can cause life-threatening waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid, hepatitis, and more.
The Pioneer Academy located in Wayne, New Jersey, has started a Group FUNdraiser through Embrace Relief for a new library for the Pwani Primary School in Tanzania. Through this fundraiser, collected funds will go towards a completely new library that will include building a new building and filling it with books, furniture, shelves, and other library features. This library will provide students a safe and stimulating place to learn. Unfortunately, many libraries in Africa are rundown and lack up-to-date information and knowledge. This library will give the children of this school access to an inviting space for them to learn.
COMPUTERS HAVE BROUGHT DIGITAL LITERACY AND SELF SUFFICIENCY TO 7,000+ STUDENTS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Computers are the modern day’s answer to an encyclopedia, providing us with unlimited knowledge at our fingertips. Embrace Relief’s program (or Accessible Computer Technology for Under-Served Students (ACT-US) has provided over 7,000 students in Uganda and Tanzania with 324 educationally pre-installed computers.
Coupling education with self-sufficiency, these computers come pre-installed with programs to teach its users things like math, writing, and science as well as agriculture, sanitation, and personal finance. They can also be remotely updated from headquarters in California and Nairobi, Kenya, as they are equipped with Endless OS technology.
Digital literacy and education are the foundation blocks of a successful society. With it comes a thriving economy, agriculture, less disease and illness, and a higher quality of life. Furthermore, this ACT-US aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
In April 2020, a ceremony will take place to mark the completion of Phase 1 of ACT-US. In attendance will be representatives from the U.S. Embassy in Uganda, the African Union, the Nile Humanitarian Development Agency (NHDA), the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of ICT, all of whom have played an integral part in making this program possible.
Phase 2 of ACT-US will see over 1,000 computers being delivered, expanding its reach to include Kenya and Ethiopia which will reach tens of thousands of students in Africa.
