Paratus Zambia brings Starlink internet to 10,000 students
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Paratus Zambia connected 18 schools run by Family Legacy Missions Zambia in Lusaka, Zambia, to the internet using Starlink technology.
The company completed the installations in about two weeks, replacing an unreliable connection that frequently failed and had limited reach. This new system provides fast, stable internet access with minimal infrastructure needed for deployment. Family Legacy, a US-based organisation, supports over 10,000 children in Zambia through programs covering education, healthcare, and social development.
The improved internet access now supports teaching, administration, and digital learning at all 18 schools, allowing students and staff to consistently use online tools. Chimuka H. Mulenga, Associate Director at Family Legacy Missions Zambia, said the connectivity “fundamentally change[s] how our schools operate” and gives students access to opportunities they previously lacked. Paratus Zambia and Family Legacy plan to expand this access to more schools, integrating connectivity into the organisation’s long-term education plans.
