MTN Foundation donates media centre to North West school
MTN SA Foundation together with the National Department of Communications has donated a multimedia centre to the Bakgofa Primary School in Rustenburg to support the new initiative by the department. The media centre will serve the students at the school with the latest computer software and internet connectivity. MTN has already installed 20 computers with printers as well as data projectors.
"MTN SA is heavily involved in the development of rural communities through the MTN Foundation. We are here to plant yet another seed in this province as part of the series of investments that the foundation will be devoting to in the coming years. This is in line with the foundation's commitment to being a leader in connecting communities for self-reliance," said MTN's Fusi Mokoena. "Schools provide a natural entry point into communities, which is why we implement education projects first."
The MTN Foundation's integrated development strategy seeks to deliver maximum benefit to selected cluster communities in six provinces, with North West being one of the beneficiaries. Interventions include providing schools with technology-based teaching and learning aids, enhancing the outreach of existing science centres, establishing interactive tele-teaching technology platforms and developing the capacity and institutional infrastructure of schools.
