About this Campaign:

HSD is taking an initiative for providing Mobile App Development in order to innovate the Children and youths to prepare them to become social entrepreneurs and App developers.

Will train them how to prosperous in life when Mobile App Development would bring the good impact, HSD found thousands of the Children and youths who are not knowledgeable in Digital Tech, even they have no access to touch or use a computer/Tablet.

And is the basic right of humanity, as the World is now changing in Digital for any field. So, HSD is taking this initiative to provide a platform to such Children & youths so that they can have at least basic computer programming and Especially in Mobile App Development and they can be able to interact with computers and Tablets and to navigate in other social medias.

We know their functions and different uses and be prosperous in life. Although there are many centers, where they teach Computer literacy programs such as IT, ICT for Adults but they don't value or think about the young generation especially Children.

By HSD's effort looking for Donors, we met a well-wisher from Australia and she has donated 5 laptops since 2020, for us to run this program, but 5 laptops are still not enough to train 200 children and 200 youths per year.

Which means three students may share one laptop during the session, and that is not sounding good indeed because one or two may not touch computer at a time.

Also we have a special thanks to MAD-learn, they have donated over USD 5,000 of access to their program and training for the staff.
