DK Telecom Empowering Methodist Special Needs School through Connectivity

We are with the firm conviction that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and shine. For children with Down syndrome and other special needs, this opportunity requires patience, specialised teaching, and an environment that nurtures their unique abilities. The Methodist Special Needs School has been providing exactly that in The Gambia, serving as a safe space where children are supported to reach their potential through care, suited education, and community.

As part of our social corporate responsibility, DK Telecom we feel obliged to provide internet connectivity to the Methodist Special Needs School. This contribution helps open doors to new ways of learning, enabling teachers to access resources designed for special education and empowering students to benefit from interactive, technology-assisted tools.

For the children, internet access means exposure to creative and engaging content that stimulates learning at their own pace. For teachers and caregivers, it brings valuable support by connecting them with global knowledge, training materials, and innovative strategies for teaching children with Down syndrome.

We believe technology should break barriers, not create them. By supporting the Methodist Special Needs School, we reaffirm our commitment to inclusivity in education, ensuring that children with special needs are not left behind in the digital world. This partnership reflects our vision of a connected Gambia where every child, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to be celebrated.
