Kelsa+ (meaning “Work+” in Kannada) is an initiative through which organizations in developing countries can increase digital literacy and skill development among such low-income workers, through the provision of an Internet-connected PC for the service staff’s free, unrestricted use when off duty.
The benefits to workers include:
· An increase in basic PC literacy, despite previous non-exposure, varying age and literacy levels
· Improved confidence, self-esteem, hope and workplace satisfaction
· Improved communication and skill build-up through access to learning material and peer support
The benefits to companies include:
· A demonstration that the company is values-driven, motivated by its mission for all its stakeholders to realize their potential
· Improved worker satisfaction and skill build-up
· Exponentially increasing the value of the networked economy as new participants join the digital community
