MTN Uganda has opened a new inclusive ICT Lab at Mvara Secondary School in Arua City. The lab, which is designed to serve over 100 learners with special needs, is equipped with 10 computers, a JAWS screen reader, Bluetooth speakers, and a year of free internet access.

Annet Dilea, the Education Officer for Special Needs, described the lab as a “gift of dignity and equal opportunity,” while Asiku Geoffrey, the City Education Officer, stated that it serves as a reminder to every child that they have a place in the digital world.
