Czech NGO Asante Kenya prepared a computer project e-Afric@ together with Masaryk university that donated 25 computers, Microsoft providing software and DHL transporting computers to Nairobi in August this year.
Eight schools that attend children from slums received computers for free. E-Afric@ project wants to support education of the poor children and also to enable them to find a job in the future though computer classes.
Pupils started PC literacy courses. Access to information hopefully will help them to fight issues that Kenya faces (HIV/AIDS, early marriages, early pregnancies etc.)
In September Kenyan pupils will chat through internet with Czech children. They will tell them about beginning of school year, what it is like to go to school in Africa and of course what they like to do after school.

There’s an Irish charity called Camara doing something similar. Might be of interest to you or your readers.
Access to the internet is indeed very important for education. It will certainly help them. However, sometimes, I miss books in stories like these. More and more, and in every part of the world, internet pushes away books. But maybe that is another story to tell, and not really valid here
@Clare, thanks for the contact!
@Hanna, I agree both are similarly important. I hope we will still read books in twenty years from now
