Airtel Africa Foundation upgraded facilities at four schools in Uganda, benefiting 3,349 students and 83 teachers.
The company refurbished computer rooms, installed high-speed internet, and renovated classrooms at Arua Public Primary School, Kibeedi Primary School, Buremba Senior Secondary School, and Kasaana I Primary School. These improvements also included upgrades to sanitation and rainwater harvesting systems, aiming to create better learning environments.
Airtel Uganda launched its Adopt A School Programme in 2011 with the Ministry of Education and Sports, initially focusing on libraries and basic infrastructure. The program has since expanded to include digital education, providing 40 computers to the four schools. This investment builds on Airtel Uganda’s 15-year partnership with schools and communities to expand learning opportunities.
Airtel Uganda’s Managing Director, Soumendra Sahu, stated the company believes all children deserve equal access to quality education and the tools to succeed in a digital world.
