As part of its efforts to enhance computer skills and promote e-learning in schools, Centenary Bank Rukungiri Branch has donated 20 computers to St. Charles Lwanga Seminary Nyakibale in Rukungiri District.
Arinda Tadius, a Senior Two student at the school, expressed his gratitude to Centenary Bank, highlighting the challenges they previously faced due to the limited number of computers. He noted that accessing a computer was particularly difficult for lower-class students, especially those in Senior One and Two, yet computers are essential under the new curriculum. He believes this donation will significantly contribute to their academic excellence.
Father Deus Tweyongyere, the Rector of St. Charles Lwanga Seminary, also extended his appreciation to Centenary Bank for this generous contribution. He emphasized that these computers will greatly support the school in implementing the new curriculum and adapting to an increasingly technology-driven world.
He further noted that the computers will enhance students’ technological skills, which are crucial in today’s digital era. Father Deus also commended the students for their patience during the period when computers were scarce and encouraged them to cooperate with their teachers to maximize the benefits of the new resources, preparing them for a brighter future.
Venansio Mpirwe, the Manager of Centenary Bank Rukungiri Branch, explained that this donation is part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. He stated that Centenary Bank is committed to giving back to the community, as its business depends on the very people it serves—through account openings, lending, and secure money management.
Mpirwe added that the bank’s management approved this donation in recognition of the growing importance of digital literacy. He emphasized that these computers will not only benefit the students but also serve as a source of knowledge for the wider community, as students will share their skills with others.
