I-school

I-school

Abstinence Kenya has put up a computer lab/ICT project dubbed “I-school” within its resource centre and later on in other parts of Nairobi where young people from low income areas and its members will benefit from computer training ranging from basic IT training to Web Designing and accessing adequate life skills information.

It will provide quality ICT skills and Multimedia Design disciplines. However as a progressive and growing project, I-school will not be limited to these disciplines alone but also seek to adopt a multispectral and interdisciplinary approach in training and development of ICT materials for different types of clientele.

I-School, is a noble course set to transform the lives of many people especially the refugees from Somali living in the Eastleigh and also others from the slums through ICT. This will encourage and inspire them to abandon the many recent illegal terror groups that has recently contributed to the high cases of insecurity and xenophobia in our estates.
