Partner Institutio
We will implement the project with the help of local partner NGO TechCeFaCos CM and US, who are also working to reduce technical illiteracy, especially among the African children. Since their organization is directly working with the children educational development and mostly in technical literacy, we believe we can learn from their experience to reach the target of the OLPCorps Africa Program.
