Project Update: Launch of a New Computer Lab at Nkuu Secondary School
On 11th September 2025, we proudly launched a new Computer Lab at Nkuu Secondary School in Hai District—a milestone moment in empowering students with essential digital skills. The event was officiated by Mr. Dionis Myinga, District Executive Director (on behalf of the District Commissioner), and marked a big step forward for our One Computer Lab One School program.
A Partnership Model That Works
The most inspiring part of this initiative is our partnership model, which unites global partners with local stakeholders. Over the years, we’ve seen how Local Government Authorities and District Councils have actively collaborated with us to make digital education possible.
At Nkuu, the launch event brought together the District Commissioner’s Office, Ward and Village Offices, the School Board, school leadership, community members, and heads of neighboring schools—a true reflection of community ownership and shared responsibility for education.
Global Partnerships Driving Local Impact
We are deeply grateful to our global partners at Drexel University and Drexel TechServ, whose unwavering support continues to strengthen this vision. In recognition of their dedication, we were honored to present them with certificates of appreciation during the launch.
Their commitment has been instrumental in bridging digital divides and empowering students with the tools and skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Together with our local partners, we are building sustainable pathways for digital literacy, education, and youth empowerment.
Students Taking Their First Digital Steps
One of the most touching moments during the launch was watching students take their first steps into digital literacy—learning the basics like switching on a computer, guided by Drexel University students.
It was a small step, but it marked the beginning of a journey that opens doors to endless opportunities in education, careers, and global connections.
Looking Ahead
The success of this launch demonstrates that sustainable development in education thrives when communities and institutions unite for the future of our youth. With every lab established, we are one step closer to making digital inclusion a reality for all students in Tanzania.
