Helios Towers Ghana has
delivered a fully equipped information and communications technology (ICT)
laboratory to Benso Methodist Resurrection Basic School in Ghana’s Western
Region, providing students with access to computers and practical digital
learning opportunities.
The project transformed an
unfurnished classroom into a secure, solar-powered learning space equipped with
15 desktop computers and purpose-built furniture for students and their
instructor.
The facility also underwent
civil, electrical and security improvements to make it suitable for use as an
ICT learning environment.
According to Helios Towers,
the laboratory will give students the opportunity to move beyond reading about
technology and access it firsthand, helping them build practical experience,
curiosity and confidence to participate in an increasingly digital world.
The project was delivered
through collaboration between the Helios Towers Ghana team, the school and
local community leadership.
The company said the
initiative reflects its approach to sustainability, which involves working with
communities to respond to local priorities.
At Benso Methodist
Resurrection Basic School, the new facility is expected to expand access to
digital learning and create opportunities for students to develop essential
technology skills.
Helios Towers Ghana said the
project demonstrates its commitment to making technology more accessible to
communities and supporting educational opportunities through improved digital
infrastructure.
