PROJECT PROPOSAL

Theme: Utilization of the Available Resources for Community Development

Class: Senior Three

Project Title: Using Community ICT Resources to Promote Digital Literacy and Communication

Introduction

In today's world, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a vital role in education,

business, and social interaction. However, many people in our community lack basic digital skills,
