Under this ESOFT-Sirasa collaboration, a deserving school is provided with a fully-equipped computer laboratory every month on the basis that such a vital facility is unavailable despite the presence of students either clever at Information Technology or keen to pursue the subject as part of their educational curricular and for professional advancement in the long-term.
