Digital Smart Learning Project
The Digital Smart Learning Project in partnership with WiLearn4Life, funded by the PD Foundation is designed to empower the community through digital & technological skills.
The project launched in March 2021 with local teachers and community members from the Iloirero and Lenkisem areas coming together with the staff of Gamewatchers Safaris and Managing Director, Dr Mohanjeet Brar, and the CEO of WiLearn 4 Life, Mr. Roland Diethelm.
The project has been successfully implemented into 3 schools around Selenkay Conservancy and 3 schools around Ol Kinyei Conservancy.
The goal is to implement a full DLC with training into 17 schools in the conservation areas that Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps operate in.
Each digital learning kit costs a total of USD$7500 and includes:
- Server with Kenya Primary School syllabus
- A projector & 10 tablets
- Server accessories
- Solar panel & charging system
- Training for the school to efficiently get to use the equipment.
The unique mobile learning platforms designed by WiLearn works well even for schools not yet connected to the national power grid or even without the internet.
Digital Learning is an important measure to strengthen the ties between sustainable eco-tourism, conservation of the habitat, and the local community who highly value a modern education for their children, who are Kenya’s future leaders and protectors of a delicate ecosystem.
