On 29th July 2026, Computers for Enhanced Education proudly celebrated the successful completion of our one-year Code Club Project at a vibrant Showcase and Awards Ceremony in Lilongwe, confirming that the initiative fully achieved its intended outcomes: 90 active after-school Code Clubs established across Malawi, 90 ICT teachers trained and more than 3,600 secondary school learners equipped with practical digital skills.

Through Raspberry Pi Foundation project pathways, these young people created games, animations, applications and websites using Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS and Artificial Intelligence transforming them from passive technology users into active creators and innovators. This shift is vital, as it builds the creativity, problem-solving and technical confidence essential for Malawi’s digital future.

The event was graced by Guest of Honour Dr. Shadreck Namalomba, Minister of Information and Communications Technology, who challenged development partners to invest in the country’s youth with digital knowledge and skills so that young Malawians can drive solutions in education, health, agriculture and commerce, thereby supporting the effective implementation of the Malawi 2063 agenda.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the Raspberry Pi Foundation UK for their generous support of this initiative and for helping to grow Code Clubs across Malawi.

From Never Touching a Computer to Dreaming Bigger: Tadala's Digital Journey

Distance should never determine a child's future.

At Computers for Enhanced Education (CEE), we are committed to ensuring that every learner—regardless of where they live—has access to digital learning opportunities. Guided by the aspirations of Malawi Vision 2063, our Digital Learning Programme is reaching even the most remote communities, ensuring that no student is left behind in the digital age.

One of these communities is Katole Community Day Secondary School in Thyolo District.

With just 20 desktop computers and a solar power system installed by CEE, the school has experienced a remarkable transformation. Students who had never interacted with computers are now learning essential digital skills such as typing documents, searching for information, and accessing thousands of offline educational resources through the Rachel and Kolibri digital libraries.

Among them is Tadala Golden, a Form 1 student whose life has been changed by the programme.

"Before computer studies were introduced at our school, I had never used a computer," says Tadala. "Now I can type documents, search for information, and use educational resources on the computer. These lessons have made me interested in technology, and I believe the skills I am learning will help me succeed at school and in my future career."

For Tadala, computers are more than machines—they are opening doors to opportunities He never imagined.

By providing computers, digital learning resources, and a reliable solar power system, CEE is creating meaningful opportunities for students at Katole CDSS. Learners are gaining practical digital skills that will strengthen their academic performance, improve their employability, and prepare them for a technology-driven future.

Every computer installed, every lesson delivered, and every student empowered brings Malawi one step closer to achieving digital inclusion.

Together, we are bridging the digital divide—one school, one learner, and one community at a time.

Among these students is Victoria Mbewe, a Form 3 learner whose journey reflects the life-changing impact of the programme.

Before computers were introduced at her school, Victoria had very little knowledge or experience using digital technology. Today, through regular computer studies lessons and hands-on practical sessions, she has acquired valuable ICT skills that have transformed her learning experience. She can confidently create folders, print documents, and produce drawings using a computer—skills that have boosted her confidence and made learning more interactive and enjoyable.

"I enjoy practical lessons the most because they allow us to use the computers ourselves and apply what we learn in class," Victoria explained. "Working directly on the computers has helped me understand computer concepts much faster and improve my skills."

Victoria believes that digital literacy is essential in today's world, where technology plays a critical role in almost every profession. She is confident that the computer skills she is gaining today will support her future career and enable her to succeed in the modern workplace.

"These skills will help me in the future because computers are used in many jobs. I now feel more prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead," she said.

The Digital Learning Programme is creating meaningful opportunities for students like Victoria by providing access to technology and practical learning experiences that were previously unavailable. Beyond improving classroom learning, the programme is empowering young people with the digital skills and confidence they need to participate in Malawi's digital transformation.

Through the continued support of Turing Trust and the dedication of Computers for Enhanced Education, more students across Malawi are gaining access to quality digital education, opening doors to brighter futures and ensuring that no learner is left behind in the digital age.

Success Story: Transforming Learning at Echilumbeni Community Day Secondary School Through Digital Education.

Located approximately 20 kilometres from Mzimba Boma, Echilumbeni Community Day Secondary School is one of the many rural schools benefiting from CEE's commitment to bridging the digital divide. The organisation is dedicated to expanding access to digital education for disadvantaged communities, contributing to Malawi's vision of building an inclusive, technology-driven nation in line with Malawi Vision 2063.

Echilumbeni Community Day Secondary School has experienced a remarkable transformation in teaching and learning following the 20 desktop computers and a projector from Computers for Enhanced Education (CEE).

During the handover ceremony, members of the CEE team gathered feedback from students, who expressed their gratitude and excitement about the opportunities the new computers would create.

Glory Mumba, a Form 4 student, shared her appreciation:

"Before this donation, I had very little knowledge of how to use a computer or access educational information digitally. I did not understand how computers worked, but now it has become easy to read books and learn using computers. With the projector, our teachers can deliver lessons more effectively, even when chalk is unavailable. We can now access academic books electronically, and I believe this will help us perform better in our examinations."

Another student, Thula Mkandawire, a Form 2 learner, explained how the computers would become an important learning resource for the school.

"These computers will serve as a reliable library because so many educational materials can be stored in one place. Once the computers are connected to the internet, we will also be able to download additional learning resources that will improve our studies."

The handover ceremony was attended by community members who came to celebrate the development, demonstrating strong local ownership of the project. With great know the process was facilitated by Honourable Engineer Vitumbiko Mumba, Member of Parliament for Mzimba Central Constituency. This underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing digital education.

The active participation of community leaders and residents reflects a shared commitment to ensuring the project's sustainability. The Chairperson of the School Committee assured CEE that the community would safeguard the donated equipment and support its proper use for the benefit of current and future learners.

Speaking during the ceremony, Mr. Nyirenda expressed heartfelt appreciation to Computers for Enhanced Education for the timely donation.

"Before this donation, the school did not have a single computer. We only had one printer, which could not be fully utilised. These computers have opened up new opportunities for both teachers and learners."

He further explained that the computers will greatly improve lesson preparation and classroom instruction. Teachers will be able to access teaching resources, prepare lessons more efficiently, conduct research, and use the donated projector to enhance lesson delivery. The projector will also provide an effective alternative whenever chalk and chalkboards are unavailable.

The Headteacher described the donation as a milestone for the school.

"We are greatly honoured by this support. The world is becoming increasingly digital, and quality education must embrace technology. Computers make it easier for both teachers and students to access information and educational resources. This donation will go a long way in improving teaching and learning at our school. We are committed to taking good care of the equipment to ensure it benefits many generations of learners."

The transformation at Echilumbeni Community Day Secondary School demonstrates how access to digital technology can unlock opportunities for rural learners. By equipping schools with ICT infrastructure and empowering teachers and students with digital skills, Computers for Enhanced Education is helping shape a future where every learner could succeed in an increasingly digital world.
