The ZARA Computer Centre, which represents a successful partnership between the GPF and the Jay and Sylvia Sobhraj Foundation, has seen over 30,000 persons of all ages and from all walks of life benefitting from these free computer studies.
Owing to the success of the first Centre, several other state-of-the-art ZARA centres have been established in almost all of the administrative regions of Guyana, and they continue to play a critical role in the GPF’s drive to make quality and accredited Information Technology training accessible and free to residents in all communities across the country.
