Vodafone Ghana Limited has donated 20 computers worth GH¢10,000 to the Kaneshie Senior High and Technical School and two other institutions to make Information Communication Technology (ICT) easily accessible to them.
The two institutions are the Industrial Area branch of the Ghana Fire Service and the Akatsi Directorate of the Ghana Education Service.
The Corporate Responsibility Manager of Vodafone, Ms Mamle Asare, said the company, in its bid to bridge the ICT gap, had already donated 208 computers to 25 institutions and schools across the country.
She said the donations were aimed at supporting the government's efforts at making ICT accessible to all junior and senior high schools across the country.
"Vodafone has taken cognisance of the deplorable conditions under which most schools operate in this country," she said.
She explained that the donation, therefore, formed part of the company's corporate social responsibility initiatives aimed at enhancing the teaching and learning of ICT in schools while supporting institutions who were deprived in their communications efforts.
"Vodafone believes that the geographical location of a child should not limit him/her in education. We will do a follow-up visit to find out if the computers are working well and the reasons for the donation are being adhered to," she added.
She was of the hope that the company could serve other deprived schools and institutions across the country.
Speaking on behalf of the institutions present, the Divisional Officer Grade 1 of the Industrial Area Fire Station, Mr James Emmanuel Quao, thanked Vodafone for the gesture and promised to use the computers to enhance their work.
