"As an empowerment right, education is the primary vehicle by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty, and obtain the means to participate fully in their communities." UNESCO
UNESCO deems education as a fundamental human right and leads the global Education for All movement, aiming to meet the learning needs of all children, youth and adults in the next decade. Support for education is clear among economists and policymakers as seen in the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals focusing on education for all children to complete primary school by 2015.
Millions of children in the developing world do not have access to basic education, in addition, access to computers and the Internet is still very much a luxury. Despite inadequate and limited resources, communities are partnering with non governmental and not-for-profit organizations to use the information technology to improve education, curriculum and programs.
Computers allow for the development of a more interactive learning experience and give children the opportunity to explore, be creative and learn problem solving skills to reach their full potential. Isa Mundo's Education Projects are dedicated to creating small computer learning centres in local schools along with providing basic educational materials and teaching software.
