“Vicentia did not know about the programme until she came to the on-field team to make enquiries. After explaining what the programme was about, she was very excited and immediately called her mother to explain to her. Her mother asked to talk to me (Martin Kojotse) for more clarification and to ensure it was not a scam. Vicentia mentioned to me how she and her mother had been thinking and planning on getting a laptop for her for her academic work but was unable to because of how expensive they are on the market. Her mother could not send the money immediately.

My brother in UDS informed me that he has enrolled in the Agriconnect program and has received his laptop and mifi for data. In fact we did not believe this program will be real so when he got his laptop and mifi, we were both very excited. He is able to do his research and assignments easily on the laptop and has been telling me about the course content he has been going through. I am looking forward to enrolling here in Wenchi so my brother will not pass me in the learning! We will both benefit equally from the project.

The laptop has given me the opportunity to be able to do a lot of things in addition to my school work. I do web development and search engine optimalization as a side hustle when I am done with school work and the computer helps me a lot.

This morning as students lined up waiting to enter the examination rooms, it was a joy to see them engaged on their Agriconnect computers, studying before the exams. Previously, you will see them peering into their phones trying to revise. The Agriconnect project has improved the manner in which our students work.
