Why
do we need better communications technology?
If you are looking at this website right now you
recognize the power that computers, and especially the internet
hold. What we hope do is to share the promise of these
technological developments with our targeted communities in Ghana.
Objectives of the
project?
We aim to support the building, maintenance and running
of computer and internet communications in the Klass Haven School
and later to extend the program to other schools as part of the Rural
Manpower Development program.
We plan to provide this support at a minimum cost to the
rural areas enabling students to complete their education with basic
computer knowledge. We then plan to extend the range of our
program to grow along with the needs of our students.
Later development of the program will generate funds to
support other Third Way projects such as the Human Rights program as
well as the Micro Credit business development
program. These
programs together are the heart of our poverty alleviation
plan. |

Program Details:

support of a local service provider Sakon Telecom Ltd. who have agreed to
provide internet services at a discounted rate (50% discount) to our
project.
In addition, we have formed a partnership
with the IWC to work with technical volunteers to support and provide
basic technical education resources.
In addition, financial support for
our web initiative has been provided by an anonymous donor and design
