Ramotswa Junior Secondary School (RAMSEC)
Ramotswa Junior Secondary School (RAMSEC): is a public Junior Secondary School located in the village of Ramotswa. The school is also one of the very few in the country providing education to hearing-impaired students.
LLR’s initial encounter with the school was through a request they had made for prize giving day sponsorship, a call to which the company heeded. The assistance rendered was laboratory equipment to assist students to visualize the concepts explained in their studies as well as sports equipment so as to ensure a balance of both mental and physical wellbeing.
At the ceremony, the company was then made aware of the dire infrastructural needs of the school which impacted negatively on the students’ performance. These included a dilapidated laboratory with no running water, making it impossible for experiments to be carried out in class.
Together with the school authorities, LLR carried a survey of the works needed and proceeded to provide the following:
a) Installation of plumbing works to enable water in the laboratories
b) Refurbishment of the ceiling
c) Partitioning of the laboratory to create an office and storage for science equipment
d) Refilling of 4 gas cylinders for the science laboratory
e) Provision of scientific calculators and mathematics sets (170 in quantity).
LLR has also partnered with Friends4Life, a close-knit group of six friends who turned their long-standing friendship into an opportunity to mobilize support for less privileged children in Botswana. We supported the group’s Charity Winter Drive, donating stationery to the identified 310-pupil Hatsalatladi Primary School, which is based just outside Molepolole.
As a property investor offering a long-term return to its shareholders, LLR thinks beyond the here and now. Hence the P138,534 committed across these three initiatives is but the first step in LLR’s contribution to its community in a way that has impact, is sustainable and adds value for years to come.
