people with the important IT education and enabling them to participate in technological development. Digital development is also seen as the basis for better jobs, increased income, sustainable future opportunities and, as a result, a reduction in poverty. The construction of mini solar power plants with IT education centers is a priority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each digital center consists of:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IT room, with approx. <strong>50 <\/strong>laptops (classroom for <strong>50 <\/strong>pupils),<\/li>\n<li>Multipurpose or technical room,<\/li>\n<li>Sanitary facilities, and<\/li>\n<li>Solar technology with batteries and necessary equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project was initiated in a participatory manner and the sites were selected centrally to ensure the best possible access. Two of the four sites also offer space for <strong>sustainable construction using local materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Construction measures.<\/li>\n<li>Training architects and craftsmen in sustainable construction techniques.<\/li>\n<li>Installation of solar panels and charging stations.<\/li>\n<li>IT \/ notebooks and
