The Museum of Digital Society: A Living Archive of Digital Inclusion
Infopreneur Shahida is creating a safer and more inclusive digital environment for her community.
Divya got connected to the Digital Empowerment Foundation through Shahida, an Infopreneur working with DEF. Divya’s journey began with her quest for digital literacy. With Shahida’s support she started understanding how a smartphone works. What once seemed like a complex array of functions now started making sense to her. The empowerment that came with comprehending the operations of her device brought her immense satisfaction. The next step was to create her own email address; she learnt how to use Gmail and created her own account. She even learned to make online payments, something that she was especially reluctant about because she had heard about frauds.
The knowledge she gained filled her with a sense of accomplishment and enthusiasm. It wasn’t just about learning; it was about the potential to create a better future, both for herself and her community.
