Exciting Update!
The Zaka Connect Project, funded by the Internet Society and the Internet Society Foundation, is making remarkable progress! We have successfully installed six new access points, expanding our community Wi-Fi coverage from a 20 km to a 40 km radius. This milestone brings us closer to bridging the digital divide in Zaka.
Once fully operational, young people will enjoy free-rated internet access, opening doors to digital opportunities, educational resources, and inspiring entertainment. In the coming weeks, we will roll out training sessions on navigating the local Wi-Fi and online safety, both in communities and at our multi-purpose youth hub. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to connect and empower Zaka’s youth.

The games were tense and exciting, but in the end, Ward 13 walked away as champions of the day.![]()
