Airtel
Zambia PLC has intensified its investment in education infrastructure under its
Adopt-a-School initiative, with ongoing development works at Kamulaseni
Community School in Chipata.
The
company’s Vice President for Corporate Communications and Corporate Social
Responsibility at Airtel Africa, Emeka Oparah, recently visited the school to
assess progress on the construction of new classroom blocks and computer
laboratories.
The
visit brought together key stakeholders, including representatives from Zambia
Open Community Schools and the District Education Board Secretary, who
commended the initiative for its contribution to improving access to quality
education.
The
infrastructure project is part of Airtel Zambia’s broader effort to create
conducive learning environments while integrating digital tools into education.
Officials said the addition of computer labs will enhance digital literacy
among pupils and equip them with skills relevant to the modern economy.
The
initiative also seeks to address challenges related to overcrowding and limited
access to educational resources in community schools, particularly in
underserved areas.
Airtel
Zambia indicated that the project reflects its continued commitment to
community development and to expanding opportunities for learners across the
country through improved infrastructure and access to technology.
