Confiz demonstrated its commitment to bridging the digital divide by donating ten laptops to Swiss Model High School, Lahore, a part of the Swiss Education Project Pakistan (SEPP). This generous donation will enable students to develop their computer literacy skills and prepare for a future in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
This initiative marks Confiz’s second consecutive effort to empower young students with valuable computer knowledge and create pathways for their academic and professional growth. Previously, Confiz provided laptops to the Government College for Women, Data Nagar, laying a solid foundation for computer literacy among female students.
Representing Confiz in this initiative were volunteers from the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee: Amna Arooj, Ahmed Mujtaba, and Bilal Ghafeer. During their visit to Swiss Model High School, the team received tremendous support from its administration. Engaging with students and teachers, our volunteers shared insights from their professional and personal journeys, inspiring and guiding students while highlighting the critical role of technology in today’s workforce.
Without a doubt, computer literacy has become a crucial skill for students to compete and access promising opportunities in the future. While Swiss Model High School has remained committed to offering free education, resource constraints have presented a notable challenge. Confiz’s donation of 10 laptops aims to address this challenge by empowering teachers and students alike with fundamental digital literacy skills. This initiative aims to extend access to online learning beyond the traditional classroom, eliminating barriers and fostering inclusivity in education.
Amna Arooj, who played a pivotal role in driving this initiative, expressed her joy by saying, “Empowering young minds through education and technology is not just a responsibility; it’s an opportunity to shape a brighter future for young boys and girls. I am deeply honored to be part of Confiz’s initiative to promote computer literacy at Swiss Model High School.”
Mrs. Usbah Ali, Principal at Swiss Model High School, appreciated Confiz’s drive by saying, “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Confiz for their incredibly generous donation of laptops to Swiss Model High School. This initiative is a testament to the profound commitment of organizations like Confiz to advancing education and empowering our students to reach their full potential.”
Through the provision of technology and education, Confiz aims to empower young minds, help them break free from the chains of poverty, and make positive contributions to society.
