Lalmba, a non-profit organization based in southern Colorado, is bringing digital literacy to a remote village in Kenya through their Matoso Education and Empowerment Center. The initiative includes providing computers and internet access to children and adults in the community, many of whom have never used technology before. The introduction of computers has sparked excitement and opened up new opportunities for learning and skill-building, especially for those in remote areas.
The Chairman of the Board for Lalmba Association, Rob Andzik, witnessed the immediate impact of the computers on the community, with children quickly adapting to using the technology for educational games and exploring various resources. Adults have also shown interest in learning new skills and accessing job listings through the computers.
The center aims to empower the community by providing access to digital resources, books, and internet connectivity through Starlink. Lalmba plans to officially open the Education Center during their annual fundraising walk in June, with a focus on digital literacy and community support. The organization is dedicated to improving the lives of people in remote areas through technology and education.
