DLASP
Equipping children from low-income families in Nigeria with the digital and technology skills.
The Digital Life After School Program (DLASP) is an after school and holiday educational program launched by Serving With Love (SWL) Foundation which seeks to equip children from low-income families in Nigeria between the ages of 4 and 16 with the digital and technology skills necessary to be competitive in today’s rapidly evolving work environment.
It is widely recognized that IT and digital skills are essential for the future. However, many public schools struggle to provide these skills due to inadequate infrastructure and a shortage of trained teachers. SWL aims to address this issue through the DLASP program.
Located in the Somolu community of Lagos, the center offers free classes to children in the community who have demonstrated a strong desire and potential to learn and assimilate the teaching. These classes take place in a purpose-built room equipped with computers, software, and trained instructors, ensuring that students receive high-quality education in IT and digital skills.
The program officially launched we have trained more than 100+ children in the basics of computing, programming, coding, UI/UX design, and more. These children have progressed from not knowing how to start a computer to creating stories and paintings, designing apps and web interface, developing website, as well as using Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
We believe this program will help bridge the digital divide and equip underprivileged kids with IT skills that will enable them to thrive and succeed in a competitive tech world. Recognizing that these children come from low-income families, SWL also provides lunch for them before their after-school classes begin.
