The challenge
Why this work matters
Many children have limited access to technology or digital learning environments, and many young people lack the practical digital and technological skills now required to participate effectively in the economy.
Our intent
ABFAED will work to close the digital divide for young people by improving access to technology and building practical, employable skills.
