FUTURE
PLANS


What is the future of these projects? We will have to explore the best ways of taking advantage of the opportunities that information and communication technologies offer to improve the quality of life for street children, as well as for society as a whole. For example, we will look for opportunities offered by telecentres to work with inpiduals or industries and establish commercial relationships.
The telecentre may have a role as a place for electronic commerce, so that the street kids benefit. In this way they can use the skills they've learned and get some professional training that can allow them to earn a decent living. We also need to share our findings and evaluate these experiences so we can optimize the operation of such telecentres and explore opportunities to open new ones. If you could visit one of our telecentres, you would be astonished to see how enthusiastic the kids are to learn about the advantages that information and communication technologies offer.
Obviously, ICTs are not a global panacea against poverty, but they can be important allies to change lives and really make a difference. If you would like to know more about this project, please contact us and add your support to this initiative. Providing opportunities for better lives to street children is work for us all.
