12 residents and 9 staff from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga’s Home For Girls (HFG), graduated from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Caraga’s Technology for Education, Employment, Entrepreneurs, and Economic Development (Tech4ED) project – Digital Literacy Training—Wednesday, June 14, 2023.

The Tech4ED project aims to bridge the digital divide by improving access to ICT and digital opportunities for underserved areas in the country, the poor, and vulnerable—to create more self-reliant communities through access to connectivity, communication, information and vital government services, thus giving equal opportunities to all.

Protective Services Division (PSD) Chief Jessie Catherine B. Aranas noted the shared effort between the Agencies in capacitating HFG’s residents and staff, as a way to achieve the Philippine AmBisyon for 2040 where the Philippines will be a prosperous, predominantly middle-class society where no one is poor.

DSWD Field Office Caraga extends its gratitude to DICT Caraga for the shared and continued efforts in assisting the poor and vulnerable to reach their full potential and contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals.
