Computer Lab Upgrade
Tsito-Awudome Secondary Technical School, Ghana
URGENT: The current state of the computer lab is critical. According to the latest report from the school, only 11 computers are working out of the original equipment, and these are severely outdated. Computer lab teachers face a daily struggle trying to teach technology skills to approximately 1,000 students with just 11 functioning computers. The equipment is old, slow, and frequently breaks down, making it nearly impossible to provide quality technology education. Students often wait weeks for their turn to use a computer, severely limiting their ability to develop essential digital skills needed for the 21st century workplace.

What's Needed:
- 30 modern desktop computers with current operating systems
- Networking equipment and reliable internet connectivity
- Educational software licenses (Microsoft Office, programming tools)
- Computer desks and ergonomic chairs for proper learning environment
- Backup power supply (UPS systems) to protect against power outages
- Teacher training for technology integration and modern teaching methods
- Printer and scanner for student projects
- Technical support and maintenance plan
Expected Impact:
This project will transform education for 1,000+ students, replacing the current 11 working computers with 30 modern systems. Every student will have regular access to technology, learning essential skills like word processing, spreadsheets, internet research, and basic programming. Teachers will be able to conduct proper computer classes without the daily struggle of rationing limited equipment. This upgrade is critical for preparing students for higher education and employment in an increasingly digital world.
