GreenBridge Computing is the latest partner in a project that brings World Vision, Microsoft, the British Council and Intel together in launching digital learning in Kenyan schools.
The project, Spark a Child’s Digital Future, will provide students with digital classrooms in Kenya, and is still in phase one.
According to the organisers, GreenBridge Computing’s addition to the project will be beneficial.
The company specialises in virtualisation of education systems and will aid thousands of students in accessing learning using hig-end technology.
One Windows Multipoint Server will give a Windows 8 computing environment to 15 simultaneous users and provide classroom control and content management solution to 20 additional students using Intel Classmate PCs.
“We are inspired that thousands of children in Kenya will now benefit from the exact same technology enjoyed by children in Bill Gates ‘ neighborhood,” said David Yunger, CEO of GreenBridge Computing.
“Further, educators will be trained to empower kids with the skills to become tomorrow’s leaders. It is a privilege to partner with World Vision in this life-changing work.”
The new partner in the project will add significance to digital learning in the continent.
“The GreenBridge donation adds efficiency and sustainability, with low power consumption, full teacher management capability, low maintenance costs and the longest expected lifespan, which increases sustainability,” the statement said.
The pilot is expected to be rolled out in June this year in Matete, a rural community in Western Kenya. IT will be done in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
