Learn About Our Program
Our Digital Equity and Empowerment Project (DEEP) is designed to bridge the digital divide in Caribbean communities through three impactful programs: DEEP Access, DEEP Academy and DEEP Assist. Each program plays a vital role in empowering individuals and schools to thrive in a digital world.
DEEP PROGRAMS
DEEP Access: Empowering Communities with Technology
At the heart of our DEEP Access program is the belief that access to the right tools is essential for meaningful engagement with technology. We focus on providing digital devices—laptops, tablets, and other essential technology—to communities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to connect with the digital world.
What We Do:
- Distribution Events: We organize community events where individuals and families can receive devices free of charge. Our team ensures that each recipient understands how to set up and use their new device.
- Partnerships with Schools: We collaborate with local schools to create Digital Hubs by bringing devices directly to students, supporting their educational journey and enhancing their learning experience.
- Device Maintenance: We provide guidance on maintaining and caring for devices, ensuring they last longer and serve their intended purpose effectively.
Why It Matters: Access to technology opens doors to education, job opportunities, and important online resources. By providing devices, we empower individuals and schools to explore the vast potential of the digital landscape.
DEEP Academy: Building Digital Skills for a Brighter Future
Education is truly at the heart of our mission, and our DEEP Academy is committed to equipping individuals with essential digital skills. We offer a variety of classes tailored to different age groups and skill levels, ensuring that everyone can learn at their own pace.
