Empowering Futures Through Tech Education at Isihlangusabasha Primary School

In the heart of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Isihlangusabasha Primary School stands as a beacon of hope amid resource challenges, serving approximately 450 eager learners. Recognising the pivotal role of technology in shaping their future, Alpha has partnered with The Sprout Foundation, an NPO tackling unemployment in the country, to launch the Teach Each Child Tech (TECT) Program at Isihlangusabasha. Fueling this initiative, Alpha’s sponsorship of over 25 secondhand office laptops, once vital tools in their operations, have found new purpose as instruments of learning. Through Alpha’s generous sponsorship, the Teach Each Child Tech Program at Isihlangusabasha Primary School has taken a significant leap forward. These laptops, once essential for office operations, now serve as gateways to the digital world for Isihlangusabasha’s students. In the vibrant tech labs, powered by Alpha’s donated devices, learners are immersed in coding sessions, digital literacy tutorials, and exploratory projects that ignite their curiosity and expand their horizons.

The impact of Alpha’s laptop sponsorship extends far beyond the confines of Isihlangusabasha Primary School. By repurposing their secondhand office laptops, Alpha has not only provided essential tools for learning but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability and community empowerment. Each refurbished laptop represents a step towards bridging the digital divide and unlocking the potential of under-resourced communities. As we witness the transformative power of technology within Isihlangusabasha Primary School, fueled by Alpha’s sponsorship, we are reminded that true progress is fueled by collaboration and innovation. Through this partnership between Alpha and The Spout Foundation, we are not only equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in the digital age but also fostering a culture of empowerment and opportunity that will shape the future of our society for years to come.
