At least 16 secondary schools in Kangundo Sub-County have received desktop computers and laptops in a major initiative aimed at boosting digital learning among students.
The donation was made by Caring Hearts and Hands of Hope, an organisation committed to enhancing education through technology.
Each of the schools received three desktop computers and one laptop, following a teacher capacity-building program held on March 3 and 4. The training, funded by the organisation, was designed to equip teachers with the skills needed to integrate technology into classroom instruction.

The official distribution of the computers took place during a ceremony held on Saturday, 14th March 2026.
Dr. Vincent Muli, founder and director of the organisation, underscored the importance of preparing learners for a technology-driven future. “The future of our learners will largely depend on how they are prepared for a world economy that will continue to be dictated by technology,” he said.
Dr. Kituku, who also addressed the event, explained that the initiative is part of a broader plan to expand access to computers across schools in the sub-county. He noted that the goal is to ensure students acquire essential digital skills that will enable them to thrive in modern education and beyond.
Some institutions received additional support, with Misyani Girls High School receiving 25 desktop computers, while Mukunike Mixed Day and Boarding Secondary School was provided with eight desktops. These allocations reflect the organization’s commitment to bridging the digital divide by prioritizing schools with greater needs.

School heads expressed gratitude for the donations, noting that the rising cost of living has made it difficult for many parents to afford computers for their children. Veronica Kiseve, Principal of Mulingana Secondary School, said the initiative would go a long way in addressing the gap. “These donations will go a long way considering the fact that even learning has gone digital,” she remarked.
She added that the availability of computers would enhance teaching and learning outcomes, better preparing students for a world increasingly shaped by technology.
