Testimonials
Grace
Student
"I had a great experience working with a fruit distributor learning about the supply chain, quality control and the chemistry of banana ripening, this was my first ever experience using a computer"
Patricia Musonda
Head Teacher
"This project really has been a savior for us. There have been a number of power outages and thanks to the solar we have been able to use the printer to print exams, as well as the computers for managing the finances and setting tests and exams for our students."
Isaac Ng'ambi
Deputy Head Master, Kakolo School
"The program introduced at our school has significantly transformed the learning process. Before this initiative, we faced challenges with student absenteeism. Since its implementation, absenteeism has greatly decreased. Students are more engaged, excited to explore questions, and find answers"
