More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

CEACA-VILA is a part of the Center for Digital Inclusion, an NGO who promotes social and digital inclusion through IT and civic engagement schools. Expanding the center's infrastructure will allow CEACA-VILA to be self-sustainable and will provide 30 jobs and internships for our graduates. This Rio De Janeiro slum, or favela, harbors 35,000 and is racked by violence and drug trafficking problems. Internet access and IT skills will promote vital social and economic development in the community.

Latest Update from the Field

What is new

By Ludmila Elias - CDI volunteer fundraiser, June 04, 2010 10:03 AM

CEACA has been adjusted and perfected to maximise its impact in the community of Rio de Janeiro. A few weeks ago the team went on a workshop, in which had been discussed the subject: "Team work and trust building" (photos).

Another important fact is that a computer company called Tec Total hired Ceacadigital services. We install computers and provide other services for the their clients. This work has been generating funds to improve the project and to reach more people into the community. The hope is this contract is just the beginning of something good, such as new job opportunities.
