Empowering Dreams Through Technology: The Story of Mayamiko Fasiyo

Among the many students whose lives have been transformed is Mayamiko Fasiyo, a determined Form 4 student at St. Patricks Secondary School with a growing passion for technology.

Before the introduction of computers at the school, Mayamiko had very limited exposure to digital technology. Like many learners in rural Malawi, he had only heard about computers and seen them in pictures but had never used one himself.

This changed when the school received computer equipment through the digital learning initiative implemented by Computers for Enhanced Education.

“Before the computers came to our school, I did not know how to use a computer at all. I only saw computers in pictures or heard people talking about them. Now I can type documents, use Microsoft Word, and access educational materials through offline digital libraries like Rachel. This has completely changed the way I learn,” says Mayamiko.

The practical exposure has also made learning more engaging, interactive, and enjoyable for students at the school. For students like Mayamiko, access to computers has done more than improving his classroom experience — it has inspired a vision for his future.

“My goal is to study ICT in college and build a career in technology. Having access to these computers has given me hope and confidence that I can achieve my dream,” he says.

Teachers at the school have also observed increased student participation and growing interest in computer studies since the introduction of the digital learning program. More learners are now enrolling in ICT classes, eager to gain practical digital skills that can help shape their futures.

The initiative has also promoted inclusive learning by ensuring that all students, including learners with disabilities, have equal access to digital education opportunities.

Mayamiko’s story reflects the transformative impact that access to technology can have on young people in Malawi. Through the support of Computers for Enhanced Education, students at St. Patricks Secondary School are gaining the knowledge, confidence, and digital skills needed to pursue brighter futures and participate meaningfully in today’s digital world.

The introduction of RACHEL and Kolibri offline learning platforms has further enriched the learning experience by providing access to digital educational content, videos, and interactive materials.

“When we see things like science experiments or the solar system on the screen, we understand better than just reading from a book,” another student shared.

School Leadership Welcomes the Transformation

The Headteacher of Kafukule CDSS emphasized the importance of the new resources in improving teaching and learning outcomes:

“The introduction of computers and a projector at our school have greatly improved the quality of teaching and learning. Our teachers are now able to deliver lessons more effectively, and our students are more motivated and engaged.”

“This development has positioned our school to align with the current demands of education, where digital skills are essential towards Malawi Vision 2063. We are confident that our learners are now better prepared for higher education and the modern workforce.”

Community Commitment to Sustainability

Speaking during the official handover ceremony, the Chairperson of the Board of Governors expressed gratitude to Plan International and CEE for their support and reaffirmed the school’s commitment to sustainability:

“On behalf of Kafukule CDSS and the entire community, we sincerely thank CEE and plan for this timely support. These computers are not just machines — they represent opportunity, knowledge, and a better future for our learners.”

“The world is changing, and education is now driven by technology. By introducing these resources, you have ensured that our students are not left behind. You have given them the tools they need to succeed in higher education and in the modern job market.”

“As a school, we commit to taking full responsibility for the proper use, management, and sustainability of this facility so that it continues to benefit many generations to come.”

A New Future Through Digital Education

The introduction of Computer Studies at Kafukule CDSS represents more than the addition of a new subject — it marks a transformation in how students learn, think, and prepare for the future. Through access to technology, structured ICT lessons, coding opportunities, and digital learning platforms, students are now gaining the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
