CFA-USA, C4A-UK, MMUST Launch Info Tech Study
Our non-profit is partnering with Computers 4 Africa United Kingdom and a university of science and technology in Kenya, Masinde Muliro (MMUST), to study the effects of bringing technology to low-resource African schools. The 3-year study will look at capacity building, attitude changes toward technology, computer skills development, e-waste awareness, and information needs of the wider community. Leading the Omaha team is Dr. Jill Brown of Creighton University who has extensive experience living, working, and researching in Africa. Dr. Joseph Nasongo, and Dr. Zipora Sisungo (pictured above left) of Musinde Muliro Univ., Bungoma, Kenya, were instrumental in kicking off the baseline study in ten CFA schools this summer.
