Quality education and equitable access to digital technologies
Saint Marie Eugénie Girls’ Secondary School, run by the Religious of the Assumption – East Africa Province, was founded in 2012 as a gift from the Congregation on the occasion of the canonization of Saint Marie Eugénie by Pope Benedict XVI. Known locally as the “Pope School,” it is a girls’ boarding school currently serving 525 students aged 10 to 16, from diverse social, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.
The school follows the Assumption educational charism, aiming to provide a holistic, high-quality education that prepares young women for life, further studies, and active engagement in society.
The school currently has 20 computers, of which only 10 are fully functional. At the same time, the Ministry of Education now requires all students to study computer science, significantly increasing the demand for adequate equipment.
Each class includes approximately 45 students, but the limited number of computers makes it difficult to meet this requirement and ensure equal access to digital learning.
The school seeks to purchase new computers to strengthen the teaching of Information Technology (IT) and to enable students to:
Learn computer skills in appropriate conditions
Access a wider range of educational resources
Carry out research and academic work more independently
This project will:
Improve the quality of education
Ensure equal access to digital learning
Prepare students for future academic and professional challenges
Help reduce the digital divide in a low-resource context
