In a small but meaningful step toward closing the digital divide for local learners in Antigua and Barbuda, nonprofit organization Flow Antigua and Barbuda has donated a new Chromebook to student Osleena Cottam.
The gift comes as many young people across the island nation still face barriers to accessing reliable digital devices for schoolwork, remote learning and skill development. Flow Antigua and Barbuda, an organization focused on expanding educational equity and digital access for community members, has made youth education support a central part of its ongoing outreach mission.
For Cottam, the new device eliminates a major hurdle that had limited her ability to complete assignments, participate in online learning opportunities, and build digital literacy skills critical for future academic and professional success. Representatives from Flow Antigua and Barbuda emphasized that this donation is part of a broader series of initiatives aimed at getting functional digital devices into the hands of underserved students across Antigua and Barbuda, with plans to expand the program to reach more learners in the coming months. Community organizers note that individual donations of devices like this create tangible, immediate impact for students working to achieve their educational goals.
