With advances in technology permeating various sectors, the ability to effectively use computers and software has become essential for individuals seeking employment and educational advancement. However, many individuals in Port Loko lack access to formal computer education due to financial constraints and limited resources. Realizing this disparity, the Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation and Fruitful Healthcare have collaborated to bridge the digital divide in the region. The Free Computer Training Program offers individuals of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to learn crucial computer skills at no cost. By removing financial barriers, this initiative aims to empower participants with the necessary knowledge and abilities to thrive in the digital world. The program focuses on a comprehensive curriculum that covers essential computer skills. The courses are designed to be accessible and cater for individuals with varying levels of prior computer knowledge.
