History:

Maguinda FITS Center was established primarily to serve the information and technological needs of the local farmers where majority of the community livelihood depended so much.

In 2001 the Consortium for Agriculture, Forestry, Resources Research and development (Caraga CARRD) through the Techno-Gabay Project Staff conducted a briefing to orient and introduce the project to the community.

The FITS Center is equipped with four computers with internet connection, TV and VHS player, reading materials like books and journals, video/audio equipment including an LCD projector. These facilities came as donation or part of the equipment purchase from other barangay projects. The establishment of the Center rides on the existing projects and initiatives of the barangay Council. In fact, the Center was co-located within the village hall. The barangay provided staff, space and provisions for utilities. Volunteers operated the center, with at least two people reporting each day on a rotation basis. These volunteers were either high school graduates, with college level schooling, some BS graduates; some farming, some working for the barangay Council or a local-based occupation; some married with families. Most of them have no exposure to information services, library management, computing or the use of Internet for information access.
