The request

The school runs on mobile data that is too unreliable to reach the world outside Adientem. Its request, filed by Tommy on 18 September, asked for a connection that teachers could count on and that the community around the school could use.

02

The kits

Two of the five Starlink Standard kits bought in Asaba on 15 September went to this school. The purchase, the invoice and the transfer out of the fund are on the Wuse, Abuja page and in the community fund.

The school said yes

The principal signed the acceptance on 18 September: two complete kits, professional installation and the first calendar month of service, at no cost to the school. The school names a staff member responsible for the equipment and sends a short update on how it is used three months after installation.
