Background
The key premise and cornerstone of “Do Me A Favour” is to bridge the digital divide by giving equal access and opportunities to matriculants in rural areas as matriculants in “urban” and more affluent areas. We do this by facilitating their online university applications which is the next step into their bright futures. This is however hampered by a few factors including:
About us
South Africa sees +800000 matriculants across 6888 examination centers complete their annual NSC examinations. More than half of those matriculants don’t have access to the internet or technological infrastructure which is a necessity for the next steps into their futures-placing learners at a distinct disadvantage when compared to their peers.
What do we do
• Making high school internet access and connectivity a living commonplace
The digital divide and the need to allow and facilitate equal opportunities for all learners gives us a unique place in the lives and potential futures of the learners. When matriculants reach the end of their 13-year schooling career and are all seated to complete their NSC examinations, we all know that it’s crunch time and that everyone needs to come face to face with the next chapter of their lives-tertiary education. Where 99% of the respective applications are accessed and completed online.
