Project status: ongoing

About the project

The project aims to implement free WiFi into 8 schools in Mpophomeni. This will allow learners to have direct access to educational resources such as Microsoft Education program. The intended beneficiaries fall into the disadvantaged category, where they presently and historically have been excluded from internet access and the benefits of connectivity. Provisioning free, uncapped internet access to underserved South African educators and learners will ensure they are able to be included in the digital world.

Updates

5 out of 8 schools have been provided with wifi, which means that they are connected and can make use of the internet. The schools that we have connected are; Asibemunye High School, Mpophomeni High School, Nhlanhleni Senior Primary School, Qhamukile Primary School, Sifisesihle Primary School and Umthombo Senior Secondary School with a total of 57 unique users.
