TechFIX Bridging the Digital Divide

[Audio] Today, I am delighted to present to you the inspiring journey of TechFix, a project that is dedicated to addressing a critical challenge faced by remote island communities in the Maldives. As we all know, limited access to I.T. support has been a barrier for individuals and small businesses in these regions, hindering their growth and potential..

[Audio] In this presentation, we will explore how TechFix has been making a real difference by providing affordable on-site and online I.T. services, revolutionizing access to technology in these marginalized areas. Our aim has been to empower individuals and businesses to thrive in the digital era, overcoming technological obstacles, and contributing to economic growth. Let's embark on this journey together, as we delve into the impact of TechFix, how the Springboard Elevate Programme will help us make an even greater difference, and how we envision contributing to the social entrepreneurship community at Youth Co:Lab..

[Audio] The Springboard Elevate Programme will play a crucial role in helping us make an even greater difference.

Lastly, I can actively engage in advocacy efforts, raising awareness about the importance of social entrepreneurship and promoting inclusivity and sustainability in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Together, we can create a positive and lasting impact on society..
