In a world increasingly driven by technology, access to electronic learning resources has become a crucial factor in shaping the futures of young people. 'Gadgets4Ghana' (G4G), a newly launched non-profit organisation, is stepping up to address this gap with the introduction of its donation drive aimed at equipping children and young adults with the tools they need to thrive in today's digital age.
The G4G initiative, a project put together by Kofi Fynn, Nigel Nettey, Maame Adwoa Owusu-Brefo, and Joshua Agbey, all students of SOS-Hermann Gmeiner International College, and Kwamina Fynn, a student of the Ghana International School operates on a simple but powerful philosophy, which says "every child deserves a chance." This belief emphasises the organization's mission to empower underprivileged youth across Ghana by providing them with essential electronic gadgets.
Speaking on the circumstances that led to the formation of G4G, Kofi Fynn said, "the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of our systems and the deep-seated inequalities that exist within them.
The digital divide became apparent, leaving many behind as schools switched to e-learning options.
