I was able to know more about the computer, how to identify things on the computer and how to connect projector and computer together” – Fareedah Adewale

“At Paaneah Foundation, I gained a lot of things at their two weeks training that I cannot gain in a one month training. A lot of things we were suppose to be paying for, they did them for free, Paaneah Foundation, they are God-sent. I enjoyed my two weeks training at Paaneah Foundation” – Deborah Tibetan

“In Paaneah Foundation, it was fun for me, why because it was a free lecture for everyone of us there. The summer skill acquisition programme at Paaneah Foundation helped me to know more about ICT.” – Bello Ayomide
