Technology for 200 Schools in Developing Countries

Project Report | Sep 7, 2018
Technology Access to Public Schools

By MacFarlane Okonta | Project Leader

We’re pleased to announce another milestone at Victoria House Foundation (VHF). From our recent completion of projects (June, 2018) in Kenya at the Kibera Calvary school Kenya, and two campuses of City Gates Academy in Antipolo and Coron in the Philippines, we continue to deliver on our goal to Advance Education through Technology. You have kep our project alive and made it possible for VHF to expand its work to other parts of the developing world!

Over the last several months, we have been working with Steve Blau and Julie of Mclean Bible church of Virginia who now individually support Kibera Calvary. Both Steve and Julie were very instrumental in the delivery of the computers to Kibera Calvary in Kenya. The school never owned a computer until now. The students will be able to learn how to use basic Microsoft applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. VHF is in the process of subscribing to Internet connectivity for the school.

VHF City Gate Academy project in Antipolo, Philippines was a fun project. Every project has challenges and its rewards. Due to collaborative team work from the outset made the challenges considerably easier to overcome and ensured a successful implementation of the project. VHF installed and setup four computers each in different classrooms at the campus in Antipolo. We also setup and configured Wi-Fi for wireless access. The City Gate Coron campus were the beneficiary of two computers. The students in Coron can now take advantage of the various software that provides educational activities and learning for kids.

In a few months VHF will deploy five more computers in the computer lab which will allow not only the students of City Gates access but also the general public. Our gratitude to Pastor Glenn and his team for the hospitality. Many thanks to our donors and those who support our mission to under-served public schools in developing countries and the inner cities of the U.S.
