The Enukweni Community Day Secondary School, situated in the Zigodo Nhlema Traditional Authority, Mtwalo, Mzimba North District, is the target of this project. The school is located approximately 50 kilometers from Mzuzu City.
The project’s primary objective is to address the absence of a computer lab and adequately trained teachers, both of which are hindering educational achievements. Despite the Malawian government introducing computer studies as an examinable subject in 2005 for senior secondary grades and updating the curriculum in the 2017/18 academic year to include computers for all secondary school grades, many Malawian schools struggle to afford ICT equipment. The cost of establishing a lab with 20 low-quality, used computers is a substantial portion of an average school’s annual budget, amounting to 16.5%. Furthermore, numerous rural schools lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to accommodate a computer lab.
