Airtel Networks Zambia Plc has donated text books worth K10,000 to St Edmund’s Secondary School situated in Katuba area 50 kilometers away from Zambia’s capital city Lusaka in an effort to continue with its educational support.
Recognizing that education is a key driver to higher productivity which is a prerequisite for national development, Fr Jim who received the books on behalf of the school said the school was in need of a lot of help and the mathematics books donated would go a long way in helping the pupils.
“We are truly grateful for this. We do not take it for granted and I know that the current crop of students will appreciate these books,” he said.
“It is always nice to see corporate entities help out the communities in improving the quality of education of learners. We do realise government cannot do this alone hence the need for partnerships to be created,” he added
And Airtel’s Enterprise Business Director Muyunda Munyinda in handing over the books said Airtel will continue being relevant in the Education sector as promoting equity in accessing education is paramount to national development.
St Edmund’s Secondary School is situated 20 kilometers from Chieftainess Mungule’s palace. The school started operations in 2016 and has more than 100 students from around Chieftainess Mungule’s village.
