The Rootcode Foundation opened a computer lab at Mawathgama Kanishta Vidyalaya on August 4, 2024. This was the second school adopted by the Rootcode Foundation, which continues its mission to empower underprivileged children through technology education.
The Rootcode Foundation, the impact arm of Rootcode, is dedicated to transforming underprivileged schools through the power of technology education. Each year, the Foundation adopts a new school, committing to a year-long partnership that goes beyond traditional support. Rootcode employees actively engage with students monthly, conducting hands-on workshops and delivering technology lessons designed to inspire and educate. Central to this mission is the establishment of a fully equipped computer lab at each adopted school, providing students with access to modern technology and practical learning opportunities. This initiative underscores Rootcode’s commitment to empowering the next generation with the skills and knowledge essential for their future success.
This newly established facility, equipped with state-of-the-art computers, offers students vital access to the technology essential for their educational growth. Rootcode employees were deeply involved in the building of the lab, dedicating a weekend to painting, cleaning, and refurbishing the space, creating a warm and inviting environment for the students.
Rootcode believes in the transformative power of technology and is committed to empowering underprivileged students in Sri Lanka with the skills needed to change their lives. Beyond weekend visits to teach technology and building computer labs, this initiative includes providing scholarships, training teachers, and ensuring the school’s long-term sustainability in IT even after the project concludes. Through these efforts, Rootcode aims to create a lasting impact on the students and the communities they come from.
