What does your company do?

The ALENOY IT SOLUTIONS is an IT company that is based in small town called Lusikisiki in eastern cape..Alenoy is my name Yonela backwards I started this company with the hope of introducing kids from small age to IT environment which I never did and it was very hard for me to even have money for internet café because I didn't have parents so I've already introduced it to few schools but now we don't have resources as I'm planning to start a technical workshop that is going to accommodate kids from 7 years old to have access to technical not just computer but technical. We have a small office that we are renting and we have 1 permanent and 1 intern, we also use it as workshop and Admin. We have land already but we don't have money to build the workshop.. There are schools that we work with but it is a challenge to keep up with the promise as we thought it was going to be few kids that will be interested but now it is a lot so I had to stop the program till we have a safe workshop.. I have 10 years technical experience (4 years with Konica Minolta which they took me as a student till I finish my color master with Konica Minolta Japan and we only 5 of us here in south Africa and I'm the only female) while I was with minolta I got an offer with Nashua and I was there for 4 years as field engineer then I left to The ALENOY IT SOLUTIONS.. With Moment funding will help me a lot to sleep at night knowing very well well that there is a child that is gaining an experience at 6 years
