Our Computer Trainee Show Us How to Format Text - Proof of Training Effectiveness

We are delighted to share with you a video from the Develop Africa computer lab where one of the girls - Josephine, walks us through what she has learned - how to open a document and format text. At what age did you learn how to format text - making it bold, change the size and color? In the video, Josephine proudly shows us what has she has absorbed, skillfully demonstrating her knowledge.

Background information about Josephine: Josephine is a pupil at the FAWE primary school. Her favorite subject is English Language and her hobby is reading novels. She wants to be a banker when she grows. Her father is deceased and she has four sisters, three brothers. One of her uncles is a baker and the main provider of the home with monthly income of $100 - not enough to cover the basic needs of the home. Josephine wanted to become computer literate as this will help prepare her for her chosen career as a banker.

Josephine at Develop Africa's computer lab at FAWE school

Josephine is currently thirteen years old. While you may know of children her age that are more proficient than her, we are humbled and delighted to be able to provide this training to her. Considering that there are many children and youths in Africa that are not able to do what she demos, we are overjoyed that she has already mastered this. Such training is in high demand in Africa.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁

You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
