A partnership between a charitable non-governmental organization known as Computer for Schools Kenya (CFSK), the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Centre (WEEE Centre), Close the gap and Chinese multinational Huawei has offered an innovative way of teaching digital computer skills in rural Kenya.

The partnership managed to refurbish and unveil the only two 40 inch containers into digital laboratories with a capacity of 20 learners at a go and it can be pulled by a truck across the country.
