One of the biggest issues with distance education in Low and Middle Income Countries, can be access to reliable internet. 🖥📱

On CNIS' trip to Nigeria, we made sure to have backup generators and two wifi routers so students can reliably learn online.

Here are a few of Dr. Lett's pictures from his recent trip to Nigeria, where he implemented CNIS' MADE-I project!

Pictured here are midwifery students learning to identify abnormalities at birth by standard teaching and by digital distance education.

On our recent trip to Nigeria 🇳🇬, Dr. Lett and the MADE-I team studied whether or not distance education 📲 can have at least as good an effect on students' teaching as in-person education.

Pictured here are midwifery students learning from an in-person and a digital instructor.

At our AGM we will tackle all of the following questions:
➡️What were the highlights of 2021?
➡️Where can I participate in 2022?
➡️Why was digital learning effective?
➡️Who is the Volunteer of the Year?
