MANAD conducted a two day training in ICT literacy in Liwonde from 24-25 May, 2024. This training provided an opportunity for the Deaf members to acquire more knowledge on how they can use internet and technology for communication.
Temwa Mzota, one of the participants, concluded that, it was a very good initiative to improve ICT literacy and they were eager to learn more. However, more time is needed to ensure that everyone has learned adequately. He also added that some of them have the responsibility to teach others in their respective branches the skills they have acquired from the training.
Training was facilitated by MANAD ICT specialist Lloyd Chilongo who commented that he was happy that everyone was interested in learning IT which will be used as a productive tool that would transform their wellbeing. They managed to cover most of the essential topics which will lay a strong foundation for advanced knowledge in ICT.
The participants were from 13 Districts namely: Blantyre, Mulanje, Thyolo, Dedza, Mangochi, Neno Lilongwe, Kasungu Mchinji, Nkhotakota Rumphi, Mzuzu and Chitipa.
