SEED Program
In Mayuge District, young people face significant challenges in accessing opportunities that prepare them for the modern world. Majority of children and youth in this district complete school without ever touching a computer, limiting their ability to succeed academically, enter the job market, and pursue entrepreneural ventures. Today, digital literacy is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity for education, employment, and activie participation in the global community.
Through our Skills, Education, Entrepreneurship & Development (SEED) Program, Ajibu Community is addressing this gap by equipping children and youth with practical, future-ready skills that strengthen both their education and livelihood opportunities. Our first initiative under this program is a Computer and Digital Skills Training Project at our community school.
The Problem
Currently, over 95% of young people aged 10-18 in our community have never used a computer. Secondary school students often complete their studies with no exposure to digital tools. This has not only hindered their academic growth but also blocked them from future opportunities in higher education, online learning, and job markets increasingly driven by technology.
The absence of a community computer center means children and youth are excluded from the digital world, a gap we are determined to close.
