This paper has two foci: it implements a specific theory of change to plan a social impact project using a Digital Access Vehicle (DAVe); and seeks to understand barriers "hindering digital literacy of young children in rural areas of a developing country such as Pakistan." It reminded me of my days in Manitoba in the late 90s packing a computer network in a van and driving to rural communities to introduce them to the internet. Once people see what is possible, they want it. "In the past, we never thought to introduce computer education in our school. After seeing the digital school in a van, computer education is something for us to think about in coming days and weeks."
