A fully equipped digital learning lab for disadvantaged and disabled children — powered by solar energy, Starlink internet, and the belief that every child deserves access to technology.
This computer lab is the result of two organisations sharing one conviction: that every child, regardless of where they are born, deserves access to quality digital education. CTWP Educational Empowerment and Bongai Shamwari e.V. pooled their expertise, networks, and resources to make it happen — from fundraising and procurement to the very first lesson.

DoneSolar panels were installed on the roof — the lab now runs entirely on clean, independent energy.
DoneBurglar bars and CCTV cameras were fitted to protect all equipment around the clock.
DoneA Starlink satellite dish now gives the school fast, reliable internet — for the very first time.
DoneComputers were shipped from Europe and monitors sourced locally, fully equipping the lab.
DoneWindows, educational software and child-safe browser settings were configured on every machine.
DoneAfter interviews, a qualified ICT teacher was selected to run structured lessons full-time.
DoneChildren held a mouse for the very first time and started learning to type, draw, and explore.
DoneWe need ongoing sponsors to fund the full-time ICT educator each year.
