DEEP Trust Conducts Transformative Computer Awareness Camp
Building Digital Literacy Among Underserved Children Through Knowledge and Compassion
On Friday, 23 May 2025, DEEP Trust organized a Computer Awareness Camp at Aman Vedika Boys NGO Home, located in Vijayanagar, Masab Tank, Hyderabad, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. This impactful initiative aimed to bridge the digital divide by equipping underprivileged children with foundational computer knowledge and digital skills.
A Camp Organised for Young, Curious Minds
The session welcomed children between the ages of 10 and 16, many of whom had little to no prior exposure to computers. These young minds were introduced to technology in a way that was both educational and inspiring, opening doors to new possibilities.
The session was led by Mr. Phanindra Yarasu, a passionate volunteer at DEEP Trust and seasoned Digital Producer. His industry expertise and ability to connect with children ensured that the session was not only informative but also engaging and motivating.

Impact: Empowering Futures Through Awareness
The session sparked enthusiasm and curiosity among the children. Many expressed a newfound interest in learning more about computers, digital media, and future job roles in the tech industry. For underserved children, this kind of exposure can significantly influence their educational and career aspirations.
Why Digital Literacy Matters for Underserved Communities
Children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds often lack access to digital resources. Camps like this address this gap by:
- Providing free access to digital education
- Enhancing confidence and communication
- Offering career awareness
- Encouraging equal participation in the digital economy
By introducing them to basic digital concepts, we help build a foundation for lifelong learning and empowerment.
