Phomolong school gets donation from Samsung
The support is aligned with Samsung’s overall vision for encouraging female learners in Africa.
Samsung South Africa reaffirmed its belief in the power of education by continuing its support for Phomolong Secondary School on October 17.
Sung Yoon, president and CEO of Samsung Africa, handed over 55 tablets, a Samsung Smart Board as well as sanitary towels.
The occasion was also attended by founder and CEO of Imbumba Foundation Richard Mabaso and actor Clement Maosasa.
“When we empower our female learners we inspire change that impacts families, communities and the country as a whole. Through technology, we can enhance their capacity to learn and spark the imagination of our future leaders and innovators,” said Yoon.
The aim of the handover was two-fold. Firstly, to encourage learners to stay in school by supplying them with sanitary towels. Sadly, a lack of access to these necessary hygiene products can impact attendance.
Secondly, the 55 tablets and smart board are aimed at empowering teachers to improve learning techniques. Samsung has already invested in the school in the past with a solar-powered classroom as well as a host of e-learning devices and equipment.
The support is aligned with Samsung’s overall vision for encouraging female learners in Africa.
“Samsung is committed to creating learning environments that reflect the world we live in. We believe Africa can lead the world with ground-breaking technologies and visionary thinking. Schools like Phomolong are filled with minds that have the potential to lead the technological revolution,” said Yoon.
