I really admired the Wezesha initiative from Orange TKL. The program enabled university students to own laptops and therefore enhanced education in the universities. I think the same idea can be used in secondary and primary schools and may require proper monitoring due to the diverse nature of the contents in the internet. <br>

Last week I visited a school run by an NGO called New Dawn Kenya <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newdawnkenya.com/" target="_blank">www.newdawnkenya.com</a>. The school is in an informal settlement in the affluent Runda residential area. The appetite for education and knowledge among the students was a thing of beauty to see. These are extremely disadvantaged young people with an insatiable thirst for knowledge.</p>
<p style="border-width:0px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px 0px 1.5em;outline-width:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline">What
struck home for me was that the majority of them had never accessed information on the Internet. This issue is an emotional one for me. As a hyper-connected Kenyan I have always taken for granted access to the Internet for the last few years. Over the last few years Internet usage and penetration levels have increased phenomenally.</p>
