Kalabo High School (Zambia)

Project Date: August 2009

Local Partner: African Parks Zambia

Equipment: 10 PCs, 10 flat screen monitors, 5 laptops and 3 printers

Kalabo High School is one of the many projects that are supported by employees of the Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM). When confronted with the high need for ICT equipment, the KLM volunteers decided to contact Close the Gap for support. In collaboration with African Parks Zambia, who took care of the import and local transport as well as the installation of the computes, a computer lab was set up at this school that offers over 800 students the access to ICT. This lab enables them to acquire the ICT-skills that are needed in today’s world for e-learning, research and communication purposes. The ambition of the school is to ensure that by the time every pupil graduates from this school they will be computer literate, which will give them a head start in this demanding world where technology is the centre of every activity.
