vzw Vrienden van de Waai - Upgrading digital skills

Proposed by Christine Debeuf

A donation of € 4,000

The non-profit organisation is very close to the lives of vulnerable young people. All financial and material support provided to these social causes always benefits the children, young people and parents supported by these organisations. Examples include: Providing Saint Nicholas presents, investing in child-friendly and safe sports and play infrastructure, purchasing bicycles,... . 

The digital advance is ubiquitous these days and plays an increasingly prominent role in the lives of children and young people. Therefore, we have a responsibility to also support these vulnerable youth in growing into media savvy citizens. By no means all youngsters in the provision get the opportunity to purchase a laptop through school, or get the necessary support from home. With additional laptops/tablets in the living groups, young people will have more opportunities to make their school tasks or take online courses, build their network and social contacts.
