Lalmba, a non-profit based in southern Colorado, is bringing digital literacy to a remote village in Kenya through their Matoso Education and Empowerment Center. The center has introduced five computers, offering children and adults access to technology for the first time. Children who had never used a computer before quickly learned to navigate the desktop and explore educational resources such as encyclopedias, Kenya’s school curriculum, and engaging games.
The impact of this initiative is significant, as it provides individuals in the community with the opportunity to learn new skills, apply for jobs, and even start businesses. Lalmba aims to expand their efforts by providing more computers, books, and internet access through Starlink. Their annual fundraising walk in June will mark the official opening of the Education Center, ensuring long-term access to digital resources for the community.
The Chairman of the Board for Lalmba, Rob Andzik, emphasizes the transformative power of technology in remote areas, where access to such resources can change lives. The goal of the Education Center is to focus on digital literacy and support the community by providing essential tools for education and empowerment.
As Southern Colorado braces for a powerful spring storm with high winds and increased fire danger, Lalmba continues to work towards providing technological resources to underserved communities. Through their efforts, they hope to bring hope and opportunities to those who may have never experienced such possibilities before.
