In a powerful demonstration of corporate social responsibility and community upliftment, Siyaxhuma, in collaboration with Merlog Foods, has taken a significant step toward transforming education at Sithumba Primary School. This joint initiative marks a milestone in the school’s journey toward digital empowerment, focusing on the installation of a fully equipped computer lab designed to support modern learning methodologies.

Merlog Foods, a long-standing supporter of Sithumba Primary, has previously contributed to various developmental projects at the school, including infrastructure upgrades and nutritional support. This latest partnership with Siyaxhuma builds on that foundation, targeting the critical need for technology integration in education.

The newly established computer room is more than just a space, it’s a gateway to the future. Outfitted with high-speed internet, modern technology and interactive learning tools, the facility enables learners to engage with digital content and participate in Robotics lessons. These sessions introduce students to the fundamentals of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through hands-on activities that involve technology.

By fostering curiosity and problem-solving skills, the Robotics program is helping learners develop competencies that are essential in the 21st-century workforce. Teachers have also received training to effectively integrate technology into their lesson plans, ensuring that the benefits of this initiative are sustainable and far-reaching.

This project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between the private sector and educational institutions. It reflects a shared vision of nurturing a generation of tech-savvy, innovative thinkers who are equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Siyaxhuma and Merlog Foods remain committed to supporting Sithumba Primary School and other institutions like it, with the shared vision of building a brighter, tech-savvy future for our youth.
