Help us bring Digital Literacy & Opportunity to Binga
Donation protected
Help us bring digital literacy and opportunity to 100,000 students and community members in Binga District by 2040 starting with solar-powered computer hubs in rural schools and villages.
Binga Digital 2040 is a bold grassroots initiative to bring computer literacy, digital skills training, and economic opportunity to over 100,000 people in Binga District, Zimbabwe by the year 2040.
This campaign is administered by the Binga Kasambabezi Marathon - www.bingamarathon.com (a community led movement that has grown from 190 runners in 2017 to over 2,000 attendees in 2024) in collaboration with local educators, community leaders, and the Ministry of Sport, Recreation, Arts & Culture (Matabeleland North).
All funds raised here will go directly toward the Binga Digital 2040 initiative.
Until we formally register Binga Digital 2040 as a nonprofit trust, donations are safely held by the Marathon’s team, audited by our Board, and 100% committed to this cause.
In one of Zimbabwe’s most overlooked regions, schools often operate without electricity, basic infrastructure, or access to learning materials. Students walk long distances to half-built classrooms, many of which lack chairs, let alone computers. Adults in the community are also excluded from the digital economy due to lack of access and training. But with your help, that can change; forever.
Our Mission is to ensure every child, youth, and adult in Binga District:
Has access to a solar-powered digital hub or lab
Learns basic computer literacy, internet skills, coding, and entrepreneurship
Can participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution from even the most remote villages
As of 2024, our digital mapping has identified 24 schools across 25 wards of Binga District, serving 7,895 students most of whom have never touched a computer. These schools and communities will form the backbone of the Binga Digital 2040 rollout.
We aim to build a hub-and-spoke model with fixed computer labs in schools that have existing buildings, and mobile solar-powered units rotating through the rest of the district. This approach maximizes reach, cost-efficiency, and sustainability.
We’ll begin by Installing donated computers in schools that already have basic infrastructure
Launching mobile computer labs that can move between rural communities
Using solar power to overcome electricity shortage
Partnering with local educators, ministries, and volunteers to run regular training programs
Binga has been left behind but with your support, the community can leap forward.
This is about inclusion, opportunity, and dignity.
No amount is too small. Every bit counts. Every byte matters.
We know where the future is going and we want to make sure Binga is part of it.
Donate now. Share this story and help us empower 100,000 lives by 2040.
Thank you for helping us build the future; one hub at a time.
