The main goal of this project is to create conditions for the children living under the patronage of the “SOS Children’s Villages Azerbaijan” Association for using the modern information and communication technologies and Internet resources. The project will ensure the children’s access to the necessary information, as well as provide support in doing their homework and acquiring additional knowledge by using the Internet resources.

For this purpose, all the houses in the SOS children’s villages of Baku and Ganja have been equipped with modern computer equipment by “Bakcell”. Wi-Fi infrastructure has also been established in both of these Children’s Villages. In addition, content filtering has been implemented to ensure the children's safe access to the Internet.
