Huawei Technologies Namibia this week donated IT equipment worth N$900,000 to two schools in the Oshikoto and Kavango East regions.
Speaking at the donation ceremony, the President, H.E Dr Nangolo Mbumba, commended Huawei for this initiative, highlighting its potential to improve education in under-resourced regions.
“This is the first step in the right direction to encourage technology know-how, innovation, and creativity in our schools through teaching aids which Huawei Namibia has donated,” Mbumba said.
The equipment is part of Huawei’s corporate social responsibility program, which focuses on promoting technological development in countries where the company operates.
“I trust this will be the beginning of a wonderful relationship between Huawei and our education sector and would hopefully be replicated in more schools in the future,” Mbumba added.
He called on regional education officials and school leadership to ensure the donated equipment is effectively utilized emphasizing the commitment to equipping students with technological skills to prepare them for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
