Why do we gather data? • it is an important part of the process of continual improvement • crucial in justifying to donors in acquiring new equipment and additional resources over time • Initially we showed the administrators how to record on paper all transactions of the services they provided • we then gave them a template to fill out and return to us on a monthly basis either via email or fax DATA COLLECTING

CHILDREN WHO FREQUENT CENTRES ARE DOING WELL WITH 2 TOPPING CLASSES LAST YEAR • SOME CENTRES HAVE STARTED THEIR OWN TRAIN THE TRAINERS PROGRAMS • PARENTS HAVE EXPRESSED DELIGHT IN THEIR CHILDREN GETTING A LEG UP FROM FREQUENTING CENTRES • PARENTS CAN ACCESS PHOTOS OF GRANKIDS LIVING OVERSEAS USING SOCIAL MEDIA IMPACT ON SOCIETY
ADMINISTRATORS CHANGE ALL THE TIME • CENTRES NOT ALWAYS OPEN AS PER AGREEMENT • INTERNET IS SLOW AND UNRELIABLE • ICT LITERACY VERY LOW • CONSUMABLES EXPENSIVE • NOT ENOUGH BUSINESS PROBLEMS
DIGITAL CAMERAS USED FOR PASSPORT PHOTOS, WEDDING PICTURES, SHORT VIDEOS • DATA PROJECTOR IS HIRED OUT TO ORGANISATIONS FOR SHOWING DVDS • DVDS ARE SHOWN AT CENTRES AND THEY CHARGE ENTRY • CD DUPLICATION/COMPILATION IS CHARGED SELF SUSTAINING INITIATIVES
NEED BROADBAND (UPGRADE UNDERWAY) 3 CENTRES ALREADY UPGRADED • NEED MORE EXPOSURE SO THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL KNOW • NEED MORE CENTRES AFTER LOOKING AT RELOCATING SOME OF THE NON ACTIVE ONES • ONGOING ADMINISTRATOR TRAINING • BETTER DATA COLLECTION EFFORTS WAY FORWARD
