Chitipa, December 18, Mana: Malawi’s premier mobile network and ICT services provider, Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM) PLC has donated 12 computer sets with internet connectivity tools (Wi-Fi) to Yamba Community Day Secondary School (CDSS) in Chitipa.
TNM’s Brand and Communication Manager, Limbani Nsapato, said the donation was part of the company’s ‘ICT for Schools’ Initiative, which will see selected public education institutions benefit from TNM’s digital literacy agenda.
Nsapato said TNM acknowledges the digital gap in Malawi as most schools do not have access to ICT facilities, hence the donations in secondary schools to align them with world trends.
