We hope to complete the computer laboratory by February of 2010. Most of our machinery has been donated from Smallbean, our partner NGO, and individual donors. We will be purchasing 6 netbook computers to complement the 4 that Smallbean is bringing to Kwala, and the budget for this project will be available soon. If you have a laptop which is still functional but you no longer use, we will gladly bring it out to Kwala for student use. Please contact us for more information on how to donate your equipment.
