Project Context

The Lautoka School of Special Education in Fiji is a partial government grant-funded school that caters to 77 students with various forms of disability, who primarily originate from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Before the donation by Reach 4 Your Future Foundation (R4YFF), some of these students were paying a levy of $3.00 per session to a local computing literacy school, which most families could not afford. As a result, some children missed out on attending classes, further exacerbating their disadvantage. R4YFF stepped in to help bridge this gap by providing ten thin client computing systems to the school, free of charge.
