STORYLINE:

Chinese-invested Swakop Uranium's Husab mine in Namibia on Friday contributed to the country's quest to bridge the digital divide by donating computer equipment to the Lazarus Haufiku Combined School in Oshamba village in the northern region of Ohangwena.

About 550 students will benefit from the donation, which includes 16 computers, a high-performance printer, and a school fence for security.

At the handover ceremony, which was attended by government officials and community members, Ester Nghipondoka, Namibian minister of education, arts and culture, said the gesture is a powerful statement of commitment to education.

"This remarkable contribution is not just a gesture.  It is a powerful statement of commitment to education, safety, and the culture of our children. Swakop Uranium's 'Invest in Education' Campaign is a beacon of hope, having committed over 3 million Namibia dollars (about 172,000 U.S. dollars) in 2024 alone across the Omaheke, Ohangwena, and Erongo regions."

Lazarus Haufiku is one of the top academic schools in the Ohangwena Region, excelling in academics, leadership, sports, and culture, although it has struggled with a lack of technology.
