Mark Wathama, a high school student at St  Mary Secondary School Yatta, faced academic challenges due to limited access to technology and a lack of computer skills. With no prior experience using computers, he relied heavily on traditional textbooks and handwritten assignments, which made it difficult to keep up with his peers who had more advanced learning tools.

Everything changed for Jovial when donated computers arrived at his school. With access to this new technology, he was able to:

• Enhance Learning: Jovial used the computers to complete assignments, research, and collaborate with his classmates on projects. The wealth of resources and educational software transformed his learning experience, boosting his academic performance.
• Develop Digital Skills: Regular use of computers helped Jovial develop vital skills like typing, internet navigation, and software proficiency. He grew more confident in using technology for various tasks, from writing assignments to conducting research.
• Explore New Interests: Beyond academics, computers gave Jovial a platform to explore his personal interests, broadening his knowledge and curiosity.

The results of Jovial’s dedication were nothing short of remarkable:

• His grades improved significantly, earning him top honors and recognition for his academic excellence.
• He gained newfound confidence, knowing that with the right tools and resources, he could excel and chase his dreams.

Now thriving academically, Jovial aspires to pursue a career in Information Technology, driven by his passion for tech and the skills he’s gained. His journey showcases the life-changing power of donated computers.
