Tech 4 Development Programme
You might be wondering, what exactly is a Mobile Computer Lab?
Our Mobile Computer Lab functions like a library, but instead of students travelling to access computers, the computers come directly to them.
Schools can book the Mobile Computer Lab for computer lessons. Our team travels to the school, sets up the laptops and gives students the opportunity to practise what they are learning in real time.
At Empower Communities Ghana, we believe that creating access to digital devices is the first step towards bridging the digital divide.
In focus
How the lab is taking shape
01
Immediate impact
The impact was immediately visible at launch. Many students had the opportunity to use a laptop for the first time, transforming theoretical IT lessons into practical and engaging learning experiences.
02
Focused on Teshie
The project is currently focused on Teshie, where we are working with schools to support practical IT education.

Growing the programme
As the programme grows, we plan to invest in additional laptops and expand the Mobile Computer Lab to other communities.
04
STEAM and Robotics
