Digital Literacy for Children, Youth & Rural Women

Empowering communities across India with essential digital skills for education, employment, and entrepreneurship

Empowering Through Digital Inclusion

In the rapidly advancing digital world, the gap between the digitally literate and illiterate continues to widen, especially in rural and underserved communities. Vistar Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by offering comprehensive digital literacy programs tailored for children, youth, and rural women. These programs are designed to provide not just technical skills, but also the confidence and awareness needed to thrive in a digitally driven economy.

Did you know? Over 70% of rural populations in India lack access to digital education. Vistar Foundation is working tirelessly to change this narrative.

Key Areas of Digital Literacy Training

Children

We introduce school-aged children to computers and tablets through fun, interactive classes covering basic computer operations, safe browsing, educational games, and creativity tools such as drawing and story-making apps.

Youth

Young adults are taught critical skills such as MS Office, online research, job portal navigation, email writing, coding basics, and how to use productivity tools that enhance their employability and entrepreneurial capabilities.

Rural Women

For rural women, we focus on smartphone literacy, mobile banking, accessing government services online, running home businesses using WhatsApp and Facebook, and staying connected to markets and health services.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Sita Devi, a resident of a small village in Rajasthan, had never touched a smartphone. After completing our program, she not only uses digital payment apps but also runs an online handmade bag store through social media. Children like Ravi from Bihar now participate in national-level coding competitions thanks to access to digital classrooms. Our youth participants have secured internships and jobs in IT and BPO sectors after learning computer basics and communication skills.

Our Unique Approach

What makes Vistar Foundation’s approach unique is our integration of digital literacy with life skills, entrepreneurship training, and health awareness. For example, our modules also teach women how to access telemedicine, apply for welfare schemes, or file complaints through online platforms. This holistic learning helps women and youth use digital tools not just for learning or business but also for their rights and personal growth.

Expanding Horizons

We’ve also introduced courses in basic graphic design, digital marketing, and e-commerce management for advanced learners. These are especially beneficial for those looking to start or grow small businesses online. By integrating digital marketing knowledge with existing skills like tailoring, handicrafts, or baking, learners can build stronger income streams.

Building a Digitally Inclusive Future

Our programs are aligned with India’s Digital India vision and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By focusing on digital equity, we’re making sure that no woman, child, or youth is left behind in the new economy. We are not just teaching skills—we’re nurturing digital leaders.

Our Impact So Far:
Over 15,000 individuals trained across 80+ villages in 5 states.
6,000+ women now use smartphones for income generation.
3,000+ students now use educational apps for better learning.

Join the Movement

Digital literacy is not a luxury—it is a basic right. Vistar Foundation invites educators, volunteers, corporates, and local organizations to collaborate with us and take this mission further. Whether through donations, training sessions, or spreading awareness, every contribution can make a difference.
