to help bridge the digital divide based on Canadian technological
advancement and Canadian Government agenda that makes Canada as the
most wired country in Developed world.
Internet access and the skills to use it effectively are vital to make
a business successful in the world marketplace. In order to market
products internationally, make use of the resources available online
and operate a modernized business, computers are vital. Also, because
of this phenomenon, employers require employees that have computer skills.
Digital Communities bring Internet-based communication and education
solutions to the worldwide community. The community's computer literacy
levels rise as people learn how to use wireless kiosks and public access
points in civic buildings. This not only increases citizen satisfaction,
but creates new job opportunities by raising the skills of the workforce
and better equipping workers for success in the global knowledge economy.
Making internet accessible to communities in the developing world means
that they will have more readily available the information that is necessary
to improving their standard of life. The internet can be used as a tool to
disperse information regarding these issues. Education is key to achieving
these goals. The vast amounts of information that the internet makes available,
can be used to as a means to bring education about HIV/AIDS, infantile and
maternal health, disease prevention and women's issues.
The United Nations Millennium Development Goals also include In cooperation
with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies -
especially information and communications technologies. ICDANet was created
to help bridge the digital divide that prohibits access to technology by
providing computers to schools in developing areas of the world and instructing
teachers on how to share the computer and information technologies with their
students.
ICDANet proposes to send computers to Kenya in order to provide internet
access and Computer Training in schools and to the Community at large. By
establishing a Computer lab in the community and installing computers in
local schools, the project will aid local businesses, equip local residence
with employable skills and provide internet access to the community at large.
