Final Report: 4-30-20
Situated far from the national electricity grid and with no computers, Nsala Community Day Secondary School (CDSS) students had no hope of learning and using computers in their studies. Thanks to the $9,296.26 World Connect International Grant which has enabled the school to construct a computer laboratory and install it with solar power which is currently powering 5 computers and one photocopier effectively. The new development has excited teachers who are not only able to teach 105 students but also design and print exams internally at highly reduced cost. Teachers and community members are also benefiting from the computer laboratory through frequent practice which sharpens their skills and access to print and photocopy their work within the community respectively. The project has pleased the Ministry of Education Science and Technology which linked Nsala CDSS to Computers for Malawian Schools which has donated 10 more refurbished computers costing $2,000. The project is designed to impact many students who will become valuable citizens of the country for many years to come.
