The digitruck

We live in an increasingly globalized and digitalized world, the ones that are not connected to this digital environment can be left out from many political, business, and social information opportunities, further widening the digital divide. The Digitruck is a unique innovation that is closing the access, ability and actual use gap by taking digital skills to remote communities.

ICT4D projects are dependent on the electricity grid, which is scarce in most remote and rural communities. Close the gap is trying to remove this dependency by providing a state-of-the-art mobile digital classroom that is completely self-sufficient with connectivity, installed solar system and can reach any remote community.

Knowledge of digital skills has become an indispensable part of the educational curriculum and is a crucial employable skill in the (global) job market. The Digitruck ensures many in underserved communities access this skill.

Lack of digital skills affects the basic education completion rate due to low learning outcomes, further limiting the life opportunities for many young people.

Many rural and remote communities rely on Agriculture as a source of food, but productivity remains relatively low due to lack of technological and market information. Rural incomes increase when ICT is used to access knowledge and information
