Supporting Universities!

‍

‍

VLIR-UOS wants to improve the capacity of institutions in the Global South and therefore asks Close the Gap to supply computers to its partner universities in developing countries and to social projects supported by the South-based educational institutions. Through this collaboration, we have provided the Université de Bukavu with our refurbished computer equipment. VLIR-UOS guarantees sustainability by providing ICT maintenance and training for local staff.
