Generous IT Donation: NETZSCH Supports Education Project in Tanzania
Education as a commodity accessible free of charge, regardless of social status. An idea that unfortunately does not correspond to reality in some parts of the world. To counteract this, NETZSCH Pumps & Systems is supporting a project that is working to build schools in Tanzania.
The global education emergency is steadily increasing. Events such as the Corona pandemic are accelerating this. Especially in poorer countries, many children have no access to education. Either there are no schools, or the children are forced into child labour at an early age due to economic problems.
NETZSCH supports a school in Tanzania
“It's a great project that gives many young people access to education.”
Sekolah Dasar Msafiri didirikan pada tahun 2005 di bagian utara Tanzania oleh Michael Hell, dari rumah mode Hell, dengan bantuan dari berbagai organisasi Eropa, seperti Rotary Club Mühldorf-Waldkraiburg. Dimulai dengan satu kelas, sekolah ini sekarang terdiri dari tujuh kelas sekolah dasar dan dua kelas taman kanak-kanak dengan total 250 anak. Untuk memastikan para siswa dapat mengikuti perkembangan era digital, mereka mendapatkan pelajaran komputer sejak kelas tiga dan seterusnya. Selama pelajaran ini, mereka belajar berbagai program dasar seperti Excel atau Word. Di masa depan, peralatan akan datang dari NETZSCH. Sebagai bagian dari donasi, Michael Sigl, Ketua Tim TI di NETZSCH, menyerahkan 30 notebook, termasuk stasiun dok, kepada pemimpin proyek, Mr Hell. "Ini adalah proyek hebat yang memberikan banyak anak muda akses ke pendidikan. Ketika saya mendengarnya, langsung jelas bagi saya bahwa kami, sebagai perusahaan, ingin mendukung NETZSCH di sini", kata Sigl.
NETZSCH trainees get involved in fundraising campaign
In order to enable the children on site to work with the notebooks in the best possible way, they were first equipped with the latest software by NETZSCH. Saskia Hundseder and Markus Oberbauer, both IT trainees, took on this task full of anticipation. “I was very pleased to be able to take on responsibility in this project together with my colleague Markus and thus give something back to children who are not as well off as we are”, says Saskia happily. To ensure that the notebooks arrive safely at the school in Tanzania, Ramona Köck, a trainee industrial clerk, handled the shipping. So nothing stands in the way of successful computer lessons in the years to come. “I would like to thank the NETZSCH company for their great support. With this, the computer lessons for the children are secured for the next ten years”, says Hell.
