FASSET | Annual Integrated Report 2022/23

SUCCESS STORIES

The computer donation from FASSET has helped us a lot to improve
our computer skill, we are now able to do our research and business
proposal. We have also got an opportunity to be part of NEMISA digital
programme using the same computer donated by FASSET in our centre.
We learned a lot in digital entrepreneurship; how to set up a digital
business and how to create a learner canvas.

As the students of 121 Battallion, we really appreciate everything that FASSET
Lungile Myeni has done in our Community Learning Centre. Now we have our own email
addresses and we are now exposed to the 4IR.
