The United Nations (UN) regional service center has handed over 100 laptops to the Entebbe Police Station, the Aviation Police, and a number of schools in Wakiso district. Located in Entebbe Municipality, the UN Center’s donation, includes a cutting-edge printing machine, that will support to the Aviation Police Station in its operations at Entebbe International Airport.

SSP Kenneth Muheirwe, the Entebbe Division Police Commander, and SP Adam Kitatta, the Aviation Police Commander, received the equipment, with each organization receiving five laptops. Additionally, the nine beneficiary schools each received 10 laptops.

Among the schools benefiting from this initiative are Air Force Secondary School, Entebbe Comprehensive Secondary School, Kings College Buddo, Entebbe Secondary School, and Entebbe Parents Secondary School. Others include Mende Senior Secondary School, Victorian High School, and Mary Reparatrix Secondary School within the Wakiso district.

During the handover of the IT equipment, Nalini Contreras, the deputy director for the UN Regional Service Centre, emphasized the significance of corporate social responsibility, aiming to invest in community knowledge, safety, and future prospects.

“By supporting education, we sow the seeds of progress because technology is a beacon guiding innovation and effective decision making,” she noted. “Computers serve as transformative tools, bridging gaps, and unlocking possibilities,” she added.

Nalini applauded the efforts of Entebbe police boss Muheirwe and aviation commandant Kitatta for their commitment to community safety. By providing computers to law enforcement agencies, she emphasized the importance of ensuring collective safety.

The computers donated to the police will aid in analyzing crime statistics, criminal identification, and data-driven decision-making. This will foster efficiency and vigilance within the police force. Nalini expressed optimism that the donated computers would enhance literacy, collaboration, and digital skills among learners. The key is preparing them for a dynamic future workforce.

John Kazibwe, the headteacher of Kings College Buddo, commended the significant donation, noting that access to resources remains a challenge among learners in Uganda. “Giving our learners laptops will bridge the global divide between the knowledgeable and those who lack knowledge,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nafi Musiitwa, the headmaster of Mende Senior Secondary School, expressed gratitude for the donation. He said more than 1,200 students at the institution will benefit from the donation. Paulin Djomo, the director of the UN Regional Service Center, emphasized the importance of community support. He said that contributing to societal welfare fosters peace and harmony within neighborhoods.
