The document outlines the work of the Logged On Foundation, which aims to connect children in rural Nepal to educational opportunities through providing computer centers and internet access in schools. It discusses three main ways the foundation works: 1) Determination to overcome challenges and help communities access skills/technologies for education. 2) Creating opportunities through education, skills training, and scholarships. 3) Connecting communities both in-person and online to share responsibility for children's education. The overall goal is using technology to reduce educational limitations faced by geographically isolated children.
24. Build a sustainable computing environment
that will allow children to go on a journey
of learning and discovery.
THE CHALLENGE
25. 1. DETERMINATION
To overcome the challenges & difficulties so communities
have access to the information, skills & technologies they
need to provide a quality education for their children.
What do you
need for that?
26. Before we started one thing was clear,
therewasaschoolinNepalthatwasDETERMINED.
27. Because why would they try so hard to
use these computer for education?
41. EDUCATION is widely regarded as being at the core… of
socioeconomic development because it holds the potential
of CONNECTING people with OPPORTUNITIES that can
improve their livelihoods. Information technologies…”
42. …have the potential to transform and drastically improve
the state of education that exists in
the developing world.”

43. So we want to connect
schools to the
opportunities that
education can bring.
Computers deliver a rich
source of educational
material for the benefit of
teachers & students.
44. Children are being taught computer science and
DIGITAL LITERACY
So they have the skills & knowledge to
be able to fully participate in the world.
47. We are helping to connect children to online learning
communities (www.samuday.guru)
The SAMUDAY
website is allowing
children to connect
to each other…
so they can share
stories about their
lives, hopes and
aspirations.

their peers in Malaysia, India & Australia.
We are part of RMIT University’s
eTutor program

Bhumeshwor School (Nepal) are developing friendships & an
understanding what life is like on both sides of the internet.
54. We are building the capacity of teachers so
they can go on to help other communities.

LEADERSHIP
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES in the community

on the need of village women’s groups, and . . .

literacy & numeracy alone are no longer enough.
61. 2. CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
That come from a good education. Having
technical, management, teaching and leadership skills. Having
access to information & knowledge.

internet, so we can all share the responsibility for creating
educational opportunities for CHILDREN.
