52. Partnerships for Digital Skills Outreach: ATC & Sightsavers
The Foundation partnered with American Towers Corporation Nigeria (ATCN) Foundation, and Sightsavers, two organisations that enable youth development through access to platforms for digital literacy in remote communities. For the American Towers Corporation Nigeria (ATCN) Foundation MTNF supported with data for the ATCN learning centres established in 78 communities across 29 states in Nigeria. Furnished with workstations and computers, young people engage in instructor-led or self-guided career-enhancing digital literacy education. Sightsavers builds the capacity of young jobseekers living with disabilities and who have
a passion for IT, offering them the opportunity to train and get hands-on experience in the sector. At the Sightsavers’ IT Bridge Academy in Kano and Lagos states, the Foundation provided 52 internet devices bundled with data for the academy and its students, for use during their 9-month training programme.
