Information & Communication Technology Fund

Description

Peace Corps Volunteers are working with men and women in communities throughout the developing world to help them gain access to information technology skills and resources. Consistent with all Peace Corps volunteer work, their efforts are aimed at the promotion of social and economic development and the reduction of poverty. To this aim, volunteers are using IT to enhance existing small, local entrepreneurial efforts, in order to allow once isolated communities to link to the world and find and capitalize on opportunities once completely out of their reach. Contributions to this fund will support Community and Volunteer projects such as creating school and public computer labs and teaching computer skills.
