Vodafone Foundation empowers orphans in digital skills

The Vodafone Ghana Foundation has equipped orphans at the New Life Nungua Children’s Home with digital skills to boost their knowledge in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

The training was part of the foundation’s contribution to mark the 2022 International Day of Education in the country.

The training was organised by the Vodafone Ghana Foundation with the aim of providing skills and knowledge necessary for the deprived children to help them contribute to the success and development of their communities.

At the event in Accra last Wednesday, the Head of the Vodafone Ghana Foundation, Rev. Amaris Nana Adjei Perbi, said the programme formed part of his outfit’s “BirthdayStars” initiative which engaged its staff members in initiatives each month to celebrate internationally recognised commemorations of the UN by embarking on a Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) project.

He explained that it was also in line with the organisation’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiative to empower more people.

“Aside this training, the Vodafone Ghana Foundation is ensuring that this facility will be equipped with an ICT lab to ensure that the children here are not left out in this digital age,” he noted.

The participants received training in Coding, Robotics and Web Development.

Appreciation

The Founder of the Home, Nii Afotey Botwe II, commended the Vodafone Ghana Foundation for its kind gesture and called on other organisations to come to their aid.
