Malawi’s integrated mobile network and ICT services provider, TNM Plc, has provided internet connectivity worth K8 million to Ngumbe Community Day Secondary School (CDSS) in Blantyre.

TNM’s Chief Executive Officer, Michiel Buitelaar, attributed the donation to the company’s understanding on the importance of internet to local schools which are just equipped with computers without connectivity. “The provision of internet will improve delivery of lessons through access to online research for teachers to up to date teaching methodologies, materials and content,”

The donation is also in partnership with Rotary Club of Limbe whose President, Bernard Ndau thanked TNM for supporting one of the club’s core factors which is promotion of basic education. We approached TNM which is a long-time partner of Limbe Rotary Club and they agreed hence we came to handover internet connectivity at the school,” said Ndau.

The Headmistress for Ngumbe CDSS, Feggie Mwale, said the donation is going to ease a lot of things for both the students as well as teachers. “In computer studies there is a topic of Internet therefore the connectivity will simplify its understanding,” said Mwale.
