On February 8, Safaricom Foundation representatives joined inABLE in celebrating the official launch a solar power installation that powers the inABLE computer labs at the Thika Primary School for the Blind and Thika High School for the Blind, as well as extending solar-heated water to the kindergarten section of the primary school.
Safaricom Regional Sales and Operations in Nairobi West, led the team from Safaricom. Although the solar installation has been delivering sustainable clean energy for a while, this celebration marked the official transfer of the solar power installation to schools.
inABLE computer lab students at both the primary and high school demonstrates various computer skills they have acquired so far and two students discussed how they have benefitted from the computer-lab-for-the-blind program. Schools administration from the two institutions participated in the events, as well as a few teachers.
Thika Primary School and High for the Blind and the entire inABLE organization are very thankful to Safaricom Foundation for their long-standing support and commitment to empowering blind and visually impaired students through assistive computer technology employable-skills training and computer education.
