This month, WiRED launches a special fundraising campaign to renew its successful prevention program in Kenya by refurbishing four Community Health Information Centers (CHICs) in and around Nairobi. WiRED plans to enhance its prevention program in Kenya with new computers and educational material.

Before the WiRED CHIC was set up in Butula, no young person had ever seen a computer, except for those who had traveled out of the village, Mary Makokha told me when we met early this week. “In fact, because of the WiRED CHIC, many young people from Butula decided to go and study IT.”
