The Rootcode Foundation inaugurated a new computer lab at Mawathgama Kanishta Vidyalaya on August 4, 2024, marking its second major initiative to empower underprivileged students through technology education. As the impact arm of Rootcode, the Foundation is committed to transforming underprivileged schools across Sri Lanka by providing students with the skills and resources needed for their future success.
Each year, the Rootcode Foundation adopts a new school, dedicating a full year to providing support that goes beyond traditional assistance. This includes establishing fully equipped computer labs, monthly hands-on workshops, and technology lessons led by Rootcode employees. The goal is to inspire and educate students, giving them access to modern technology and practical learning opportunities.
The newly opened lab at Mawathgama Kanishta Vidyalaya is furnished with state-of-the-art computers, offering students essential access to the technology needed for their educational growth. Rootcode employees played a hands-on role in the lab’s development, spending a weekend painting, cleaning, and refurbishing the space to create a welcoming environment for the students.
Rootcode’s commitment to this cause extends beyond just building computer labs. The initiative also includes providing scholarships, training teachers, and ensuring the school’s long-term sustainability in IT, even after the project concludes. Through these efforts, the Foundation aims to create a lasting impact on both the students and the communities they come from.
