When school authorities at Breman M/A Basic School in the Agona Circuit of the Komenda–Edina–Eguafo–Abirem (KEEA) Municipality reached out to explore the possibility of establishing a computer laboratory, the request reflected a growing reality: digital skills are no longer optional for today’s learners. As part of the expansion of the Michael Kunke Foundation’s Digital Literacy Initiative, the foundation conducted a needs-assessment visit to the school to evaluate infrastructure readiness and learning gaps. The visit was informed by the rapid pace at which digital technologies are reshaping education, communication and everyday life often leaving students in underserved communities at a disadvantage.
In a world increasingly driven by technology, digital literacy has become a critical enabler of academic success, employability and lifelong learning. The Digital Literacy Initiative was designed to respond directly to this challenge by equipping students with foundational digital skills and practical exposure to information and communication technologies. The goal is clear: to bridge the digital divide and ensure that geography or economic background does not determine a child’s access to digital opportunity.
Following the initial assessment, the foundation engaged its development partner, RazorSpire, to agree on project scope, timelines and implementation modalities. With a shared commitment to timely delivery and impact, work began in the first week of December 2025. The decision was intentional the project was planned as a surprise gift to the school community ahead of the Christmas break.
Students setting up the new computers under supervision.
The designated ICT room underwent refurbishment, including painting and full electrical rewiring to safely support computers and a projector. New furniture was delivered in the second week, followed shortly by the installation of computers and supporting equipment. The lab was fully set up just days before schools closed for the Christmas vacation.
On installation day, students gathered eagerly, some assisting with basic setup tasks under supervision. Their excitement was unmistakable. Smiles, curiosity and quiet awe filled the room as the computers powered on many students encountering a fully equipped computer lab for the first time. It was a visible reminder of what access can unlock when opportunity meets preparation.
With the completion of the Breman M/A Basic School ICT lab, the Michael Kunke Foundation has now established three fully functional computer laboratories within the KEEA Municipality. Each facility represents more than infrastructure; it is an investment in human capital, digital inclusion and future readiness.
The foundation remains committed to scaling its Digital Literacy Initiative to reach more schools and communities, ensuring that students are not only prepared for examinations but also equipped for the digital demands of the modern world.
