Day 3 of Digital Literacy Program Empowers Youth in Hindi Ward

The County Government of Lamu, through its Department of ICT, continued its commitment to empowering young people with technology skills as the Digital Literacy Program entered Day 3 in Hindi Ward.

The training, which targets youth across all 10 wards in the county, aims to equip participants with essential digital skills that will enhance their employability, innovation, and access to online opportunities.

During today’s session, youth participants were taken to the County Information Digital Hub in Mokowe, located near the County Headquarters, where they gained hands-on experience using digital devices.

The practical session allowed participants to apply the knowledge acquired during earlier training sessions, including basic computer operations, internet usage, and digital communication skills.

The County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for ICT, Aisha Shariff, attended the practical session and encouraged the youth to make full use of the digital hub facilities to strengthen their newly acquired skills.

She emphasized that the County Government remains committed to expanding digital access and ensuring that young people are equipped with the knowledge needed to thrive in today’s technology-driven world.

The Digital Literacy Program is expected to continue across the remaining wards, providing more youth with opportunities to build critical digital competencies and benefit from the county’s growing network of information hubs.
