DUE TO A RECENT LACK OF FUNDING WE HAVE DISCONTINUED THE COLLECTION OF COMPUTERS FOR RIGHT NOW. THE BOARD IS DISCUSSING THE FUTURE OF DIGITALAID. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT

Overview

Education is the engine of modernization.  Any nation that does not invest in the development of its human capital is doomed to fail.  Human capital is the most valuable resource to a nation.  The ability to innovate and create is not quantifiable.  Our primary focus is the development of the individual.

Over the last two decades, the introduction of the home computer has revolutionized the world.  We are now in an information age.  Those who have the knowledge and ability to manipulate this Information have benefited greatly.  2000 revenues of the top twenty largest software companies in the world were a combined $190 billion dollars.*  All indications are that this market will continue to grow indefinitely.

Approximately 50% of people (137 million)  employed in the United States use computers at work.**  The introduction of the Internet has dramatically increased access to information.  The developed countries have attached significant value to the Internet such that by the year 2000, 99% of all public schools had Internet access in the United States of America.

In our opinion, this gap in technology is the greatest problem of our time.  One can appreciate how dire the situation is, when we consider that Nigeria spent a mere N 24.8 billion (~$2.5 billion) on its entire educational sector in fiscal year 2001.***  Compare this to the fact that the Blue Valley School District of Overland Park, Kansas has invested $50 million in technology over the last ten years to computerize its 19 elementary schools, eight middle schools and four high schools.****

The gap will continue to widen unless we act now.    We are developing and implementing creative solutions to this problem.  We believe that it will require the efforts and contributions of many well-meaning people all over the world.  Our solutions include the direct transfer of technology to Africa as well as the use of legislation.
