Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is changing every facet of our lives. It is changing the way we do business, the way we live and, more importantly, the way we learn.  It is against this background that Altech Autopage as a responsible corporate citizen invested in the Streetwise Solution to the benefit of our youth.

Education is the cornerstone of economic growth and development. This principle is embedded in the Altech Group’s CSI policy and reflected in the choice of investments we make. The LEAP investment is in line with Altech Autopage’s CSI strategy to contribute towards bridging the digital divide among previously disadvantaged communities and enable innovative learning in the classrooms. The use of Information and Communication Technology in education should not only focus on providing computer literacy, but also to encourage learners to read and write.

Freedom and independence mean different things to different people, but to a visually impaired person it means largely the ability to go where they like, when they like; to be able to travel to work safely on a daily basis, go shopping unaided,deposit their salary at the bank, visit friends or go to church.

Unless one is visually impaired it is almost impossible to fully appreciate what it is like to live in a world of constant darkness. But most of us can imagine what it might be like.
