South Africa: ForgeAhead and USAASA give away computers

ForgeAhead a leading ICT research and consulting company, and USAASA will be implementing a tele-container at the Ramogabudi Secondary School in Polokwane Limpopo. ForgeAhead and USAASA have adopted this school as one of the African ICT Achievers CSI projects and will be presenting the telecontainer made up of computers to the school on 26 September 2008.

Ernest Morolong the winner of the Top African ICT Achievers Educator Award identified the Ramogabudi Secondary School as a worthy recipient and has been instrumental in working with ForgeAhead and USAASA on the implementation. The school is Morolong’s opportunity to contribute to the upliftment of South Africa’s underprivileged learner’s computer literacy, something which he remains extremely passionate about.

The adoption of this school by ForgeAhead means that the company will continuously seek sponsorships that can further help the school manage the computers effectively i.e. server connection, maintenance etc.

“Our participation also means that we will encourage community involvement to assist the school further,” says Jane Mosebi, managing director of ForgeAhead.
