Millions of South Africans will never escape poverty because they are unable to access or be part of the digital world that WE take for granted. 50% of South Africans are not connected to the Internet and over 70% of South Africans do not use email. Only 20% of households have a computer. Many people have never connected to the Internet and do not know where to start. And 37% do not believe the Internet matters to them. If they do get connected, they enter a world they know little about. Does this matter? Yes. "Digital skills provide the poor a catalyst to break out of the cycle of poverty and empower themselves."
