Digital Infrastructure & Literacy in Ijero-Ekiti
Free literacy interventions, digital skills training for teachers and students, and computer lab provisioning across Ijero-Ekiti in Southwest Nigeria.
About this Initiative
The Digital Infrastructure and Literacy project in Ijero-Ekiti is Dzuels Educational Foundation's flagship community technology intervention. Operated in close technical collaboration with the Information Technology Seed Development Initiative (SeedDev), this project addresses the stark digital divide experienced by secondary schools and educators in rural Ekiti State.
Through this multi-year initiative, we equip local non-profit and public community secondary schools with fully functional computer workstations, reliable power inverters, and offline educational repositories. Our trainers deliver structured weekend and holiday bootcamps covering foundational computer operations, typing skills, digital research, visual productivity suites, and basic coding paradigms for both pupils and teachers.
By empowering educators with digital lesson planning competencies and introducing young learners to modern technology early, this programme directly unlocks future career pathways in software engineering, digital entrepreneurship, and academic excellence.
Why this programme matters to our beneficiaries
Every milestone achieved through this programme directly benefits pupils, families, and teachers in rural Nigeria. We work alongside local schools to ensure sustainable long-term adoption, digital continuity, and community ownership.
