Digital Divide & Digital Literacy plays a vital role in today’s life of survival. It becomes increasingly important for individuals using the internet meaningfully. Increasingdigital literacyand access to technology for people who have been left out of the information revolution is of common concern. In relation to this, the NGO has found similar problem in remote areas of Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan, where people lack of opportunity to access computer technology such as computers, internet etc. By this way, they could learn the latest computer technologies faster and in the future, they can find better jobs and contribute to the well being of the community.

The project on computer literacy will give an additional opportunity toschoolchildren to learn and understand the use of modern computer technologies.
