With honour and respect to propose to you the aforementioned project.
We plan to run this project Free of Charge as a way to empower the less privileged Children, Women & Youths who have not been to school; dropped outs or those who studied in another language with the ability to read and write English and French, In a shortest time possible, as well as the ability to conveniently use the computer.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
The “Free Computer Training & Study Classes Project” is a fast-track educational program which we plan to run as a way to empower the entire country, especially the less privileged Children, Women & Youth who have not been to school, dropped out from school or studied in another language. While taking part in reducing illiteracy rate. The program mainly protrudes to enhance or build people’s capacity through literacy, applicable numeracy and computer literacy for personal development in their daily lives.
THE PROBLEM THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES
We live in a community where there are lots of people who can neither read nor write English Language or operate the computer at a basic level. We see this situation as one of the biggest problems, causing economic downturn in our communities. Vendors at the market, shops or selling-spots along the streets give out over change and sometimes, receive under-change due to lack of simple additional and subtraction. Local business people are without basic knowledge to calculate the profit and loss of their businesses.
Uneducated people find it difficult to communicate with tourists and other international investors, when communication plays a significant role in business trusteeship. Educated people cheat the uneducated in textual transaction via media such as phones, internet, books, documents, newspapers, etc. These actually, cause most small or big businesses to disintegrate. Illiteracy is certainly a big problem in this regard.
HOW WILL THIS PROJECT HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM
To overcome this problem:
BUDGET TO RUN THE PROJECT
The budget for the “Free Computer Training & Study Classes Project” is estimated at Five Hundred And Fifty-One Thousand Dalasis (D551, 000.00), for a maximum of 250 students with the stipulated 12 months. We have already had 93 students registered at our office and they have started the Computer Training Project since June 2017
