At least 100 visually impaired persons in Mandera County have benefitted from a 10-day digital training programme aimed at equipping them with foundational knowledge and practical skills required to thrive in this interconnected, technology-driven world.
The training, which ended yesterday, is also to equip persons with visual impairment with the requisite digital skills to enable them to use digital gadgets independently in order to navigate and participate effectively in the growing digital world.
This will come in handy at a time when the government is spearheading the digitisation of its services on the E-citizen platform to ensure seamless access by the citizens.
The programme is implemented by the Kenya Society for the Blind (KSB) in collaboration with the United Kingdom (UK) government and the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet).
