 Computers in Homes as //Rorohiko i roto i nga kainga// is a New Zealand programme designed to provide low-income communities with computers and the internet, but more importantly training, skills and support through the local school. Thanks to DI and CIH we were fortunate to host the training for 25 families at Putauaki Primary.

On Thursday 04 December 2008, 17 of our CIH trainees graduated alongside their whanau. media type="custom" key="2785967"

Thanks to Di and CIH the whanau of Pearl Rangi were gifted a computer.
