Young people in Mbare have jumped right into a government-funded digital program. They feel happy about having computers because these machines help them join the world's digital economy. The program teaches them how to use technology, which creates better job chances. This helps cut down poverty by making everyone more tech-savvy.
Last week marked a big day when local residents opened a brand new computer lab made just for young people. The lab offers classes about basic computer skills and staying safe online. It also teaches broader digital knowledge to everyone who comes. The main goal? To create a buzzing digital economy and help people learn about all the new tech happening around them.
The youth really love this program. Many say learning digital skills helps them find better jobs in today's changing world. During her visit to the Mbare Renewal Project yesterday, Information Minister Tatenda Mavetera felt impressed by what she saw. She praised everyone for taking charge of their future without falling into drug problems.
Minister Mavetera emphasized the need to learn about computers and technology. She told everyone that the future depends on digital tools. Senator Charles Tawengwa backed up these ideas after he visited the project himself. He mentioned that people often think Mbare lags behind other areas, but it actually stands as one of the oldest neighborhoods in Harare.
The project leader, Oliver Olembe Vellem, talked about building their fancy computer lab from scratch. Already, about 80 young people take classes there regularly. He believes digital skills prevent the community from falling behind. Changing Mbare happens through teaching everyone about computers and internet stuff.
People already see good results from the program. Violet Matsine says she feels grateful because she can order stuff online and advertise her business. She even makes her resume on the computer. These new skills connect her with customers all over the place. The digital world opens doors she never knew existed before.
Prisca Gore learned something cool about business. She discovered that putting her business online attracts many more customers than before. This matters a lot these days since everyone looks for products on the internet. Clever Masope pointed out another benefit—keeping busy with computer learning might reduce drug problems among young people.
The community sees this program as more than just computer classes. It represents hope for better jobs, stronger businesses, and fewer social problems. Young people stay engaged with positive activities instead of harmful ones. The digital skills they learn today prepare them for tomorrow's jobs and opportunities.
