Bridging the Digital Divide

IT knowledge and experience can be key for enabling young people in Africa to find jobs and even careers. On a continent where many are unemployed, most are very poor and thousands starve, there is normally no unemployment benefit, no housing benefit, no state education and no national health service.
However, just one person having a job can change the life of their entire extended family. Having a used PC which is infinately better than having none at all.
