On 14th March 2025, our Programme Manager, Mr Charlie Chabveka and his small team joined dignitaries such as the headteacher of the school, officials from the department of education and local community leaders for a ceremony to officially open our latest IT laboratory in Zimbabwe. The completion of the computer lab refurbishment project marks a significant milestone in our mission to enhance educational opportunities for students at Chiwarira Primary School and in the surrounding schools.
From an old classroom renovated over twenty-five years ago, with no ceiling, windows that did not close, dirty old painting, pitted floors, a blackboard painted onto the wall, and a white cloth nailed to the wall, the refurbishment project entailed modernising this room into a 21st century classroom.
The new IT lab will offer many hundreds of students the prospect of receiving an IT education for the first time, improving digital literacy and educational outcomes.
