One Child One Device

One Child One Device (OCOD) is a GODAN Foundation project that promotes digital inclusion by helping learners gain access to personal learning devices and technology-based educational resources. The project is designed to support children who may have limited access to computers and digital tools at home or school. Through improved access to devices, learners can develop essential digital skills, conduct research, practise lessons, explore educational content and prepare for the demands of the modern world. OCOD also encourages schools, teachers and communities to use technology as a practical tool for teaching and learning. It supports the development of digital confidence, creativity, problem-solving, independent learning and responsible technology use. By placing technology within the reach of more children, One Child One Device helps reduce the digital divide and creates opportunities for learners to connect, learn and grow in a technology-driven society.
