"What are our objectives?"

The broad objective of the charity is to assist in bridging the "Digital Divide" for teachers and pupils in primary schools in very impoverished areas of greater Cape Town, through the provision of basic computing facilities in the schools.

Specific objectives of the charity are:

• To enable the teachers and pupils in the schools supported to reach a competent level of "computer literacy".
• To assist in raising standards of literacy and numeracy in the schools supported.
• To enable the teachers in the schools supported to acquire skills in using the technology, such that they are in a position to manage their administrative workload more effectively.
• To strive towards reaching a situation, whereby the school curriculum has been successfully integrated with the computer technology across all grades in the schools supported.
• To ensure that, by the end of the life of each project supported, the participating schools will have become technically self-sufficient, such that they are positioned to manage their computer centres effectively from within their own resources.

Where funding permits, additional secondary objectives of the charity are:

• Through feeding programmes, to bring about improvements in levels of alertness among the most needy of the schoolchildren in the participating schools.
• To bring about increased levels of awareness on the part of children in the participating schools of preventive measures that can be taken by the pupils to protect themselves against diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, TB and diabetes.
• In collaboration with the education authorities, the Western Cape Education Department, to bring about enhanced levels of school management capacity in the participating schools.
