Community Technology Center
(Maua, Tanzania)
It
was an exciting day when the new Community Technology Center (CTC) was launched
in Maua Tanzania. The space for the facility was donated by the Franciscan
Sisters Capuchin and they will manage the Center to serve the local community
and area schools. Many of the sisters helped with carrying the equipment,
tables and chairs and organizing the computer room. A group of women from
local villages came to see the new computer center, the hub of activity and
interest for everyone. This CTC will be a valuable educational and communication
resource as the only facility of its kind in this remote rural area.
Two Africa Circle of Hope Board Members, Marilyn Makandi Brenchley and Kay Felkins, traveled to a rugged area on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in October 2010 to launch the Community Technology Center. Benjamin Makai from Computer Aid International installed the initial setup and trained the staff. Two of the sisters are taking additional computer courses so they can supervise the Center and train others. ACOHF will continue to help develop the Center to meet local needs.
