In fall 2010 we are launched a program at one of our partner schools; Ogilgei Primary School. This program, we hoped, would provide computers for a school with 720 pupils, giving them access to skills that are necessary in the modern world.
In May, 2011, Computers 4 Hope was completed.

We believe that in this day and age, it’s crucial for students all over the world to be computer literate. We wanted to provide resources to these students of Kenya so that they may further their education and hopefully provide skills that they can bring to the workforce of Kenya once they graduate.

Computers 4 Hope brought 10 computers to the Ogilgei Primary School, which were delivered and installed with help from the 7 members of Hope 4 Africa who made the Kenya Summer 2011 trip. The provision of computers will increase and retain high enrollment of pupils in the school and help them be self reliant in that those who will be unable to further their education will have possess some skills that are necessary to open up micro businesses like cyber cafes. Moreover, during the holidays when the school will not be in session the computer lab will be available for the rest of the community members. 10 computers = $2,937.50
Insurance and burglary-resistant room reinforcement = $437.50
Total Cost = $3,375
**There will be a recurring annual cost of $690 which will cover repair/maintenance, an extended warranty, and insurance. October 2010: We raised $2430.90 in one week to help provide 10 computers! We were able to raise this money through a partnership with Tipping Bucket, a non-profit organization that features various projects on its website that need funding. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

May 2011: Seven students from Hope 4 Africa @ Iowa State helped to complete the program, bringing the computers to Ogilgei Primary School! There are no photos and videos for this program at this time, please check back later.
