The programme consists of five projects which provide people with opportunities to use information technology:

• A mobile ICT unit that visits schools and community centers in remote parts of Egypt teaching local people basic computer skills;
• Special courses on computer literacy for schools; 
• A Community Development Portal (at KenanaOnline), providing information on issues of interest to local communities, such as health, education, rights and employment opportunities;
• An IT Illiteracy Eradication initiative using multimedia CD-ROMs to teach people to read and write.
