ZOO Memorial Foundation’s launch event for the Kisukioni Primary School Digital Computer Lab hosted several guests from Dell Technologies and local county officials. The computer lab was installed in May 2023 and the launch was a celebratory event to mark its official opening and to give appreciation for all those who made it possible. Kisukioni Primary School is the only school in the area with a computer lab, highlighting the need and importance of supporting digital education.

Among the local leaders in attendance was the Member County Assembly, Kyeleni Ward, Matungulu Constituency, Hon. Grace Bahati Zora, who is also the Chairperson of the Education Committee, Machakos County. The speech she delivered at the event was most fitting and is published below.

Ladies and gentlemen, to our Area Member of Parliament, Hon. Dr. Stephen Mutinda Mule, Area MCA Matungulu West, Hon. Lucky, our esteemed guests, lovely parents, and valued students, good afternoon?

I stand before you with great excitement and pride as we inaugurate our new ICT (Information and Communication Technology) lab today. This state-of-the-art facility represents a significant stride in our commitment to providing a cutting-edge education.

In this digital age, where technology evolves rapidly, having a dedicated ICT lab is essential for fostering a dynamic learning environment. Our lab is equipped with the latest computers, software, and high-speed internet, empowering students to explore the vast world of information and innovation.

This lab is not just a room with computers; it is a gateway to limitless possibilities. Here, students will develop essential digital literacy skills, enhancing their ability to navigate the digital landscape and stay ahead in a competitive world.

As we embark on this technological journey, let us not forget that the true power of this lab lies not in the hardware or software but in the hands of our students. It is their curiosity, creativity, and dedication that will turn this space into a hub of innovation.

I express my deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this ICT lab a reality. Together, let us embrace the opportunities that technology offers and empower our students to become the architects of a brighter, technologically-driven future.

Thank you, and let the exploration and learning begin!
