"Data is to the 21st century what oil and steel was to the 20th century. Africa must become more than a consumer market for digital services produced elsewhere. We must become innovators, exporting services and building capabilities" https://t.co/oSTr6XF5oG #DigitalDivide

Digital literacy is, at its core, a person’s ability to locate, discuss and share information in the digital world. Those who are not digitally literate risk marginalization in societies that are increasingly defined by digital technologies.

Our volunteer #solarteam from @stumbleinnghana have travelled to Takwa to install solar on the New Ataobo ‘spot’ - they will also ensure community members understand how to use and maintain the system! #solar reducing carbon emissions and removes electricity costs! #sustainable

[EduSpots @eduspots]

Great to have @claudia_vyvyan, the 1st @MarlboroughCol pupil ambassador, in Ghana, working alongside community members in New Ataobo, Takwa, a project Claudia supported with book drives and fundraising in the UK, but created by Cedella from @AfricanGifted in Ghana. #partnership
