• Build and operate the TeleCentre (named ICT Empowerment Centre).

The telecentre provides computers free for use by African children, using free Open Source software that children can learn how to use. The centre will be operational on a daily basis from Monday to Saturday at 8 am to 8 pm. It is open to anybody.

• Collect old computer equipment & peripherals and then refurbish them for use in Cameroon.

Some computers are used at the telecentre, others are donated to schools. Other software products are also collected.
