“It was set up as a home to support, educate and rehabilitate physically-challenged children in the society,” she said.
Kingsley-Opara said the children would benefit tremendously from the new computer centre and the knowledge of ICT in the course of their studies.
“Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is important in a child’s educational pursuit because studies have shown that it enables children gain knowledge faster and attain learning independence.
“Our desire is to bring online libraries and other global learning resources at the disposal of the children.
“It is our belief that their physical challenges or humble background should not deprive them of readily available learning resources.
