WORTH: Building Security through Computing in Cambodia

Name: WORTH: Building Security through Computing in Cambodia
Duration: June 2006 - May 2008
Donor: Microsoft Unlimited Potential

With Microsoft Corporation Pact Cambodia is providing education and access to technology for Cambodia women. The project is designed to enhance the computer literacy of rural, poor women by providing training in Microsoft curriculum at public computer centers. Currently, there are an estimated 100 nongovernmental organizations in Cambodia working directly with these women at risk. The capacity within a majority of these nongovernmental organizations to fully utilize computers in support of organizational excellence is limited, as is their ability to use computer literacy as a tool in their anti-trafficking work. The women will receive training in Microsoft curriculum, including computer fundamentals, internet and World Wide Web fundamentals, word processing fundamentals, presentation fundamentals, database fundamentals, and spreadsheet fundamentals.
