What is computer access for everyone (CAFE)?

Computer Access For Everyone (CAFÉ) or Internet and Computer Access For Everyone (ICAFE) is a Social Program that supports cost effective Computerization efforts in Schools and will enable your school to be computerized for just 1kwacha/student/day* (terms and Conditions Apply), while removing all headaches and responsibility of managing and maintaining Computer programs inside the Schools.

Importance of computerizing schools

Schools have a responsibility to prepare students for the future. One of the best ways to prepare students for the future is through Computer Education Classes that teaches Students about Computers & Technology, and uses the computers for their daily activities.

Preparing students for the workforce should be one of the goals of education. Since almost all job’s current and in the future require the worker to use some form of technology to accomplish tasks. Students need to begin learning the basics of how computers work and how technology enhances life. You just like many other school leaders, would like your school to be the one to offer this service to your students. Implementing Technology Projects in Schools requires expertise, that's why Riteware Technology is providing a Turnkey Technology Solution to schools under the Computer Access For Everyone (CAFÉ/ICAFE) Program
