Chirag Mittal, the managing director of ADG Legal said the decision to donate ICT gadgets, particularly laptops, was motivated by the orphanage’s need for computer services due to their educational classes and learners’ requirements.
Recognising the importance of technology in today’s world, Mr. Mittal said, “With everything becoming computer-based these days, we felt it was important to contribute. We have also identified other areas of need and intend to provide further assistance in the future.”
Mr. Mittal, who was warmly welcomed by the children, emphasised the law firm’s commitment to giving back to the community, particularly in Africa and Zambia, where orphaned children are among the most vulnerable.
He noted, “We’ve witnessed individuals from similar backgrounds in society who were once orphans and have now become successful lawyers or business leaders. By supporting orphanages, we recognise their potential and aim to make a positive impact.”
Expressing gratitude for the donation, John Mwewa, the Executive Director of Fountain of Hope, emphasized the significance of the four laptops donated to the school and orphanage. He highlighted that these laptops would play a crucial role in enhancing the learners’ ICT skills.
Mr. Mwewa noted the growing number of orphanages in Lusaka and the competitive nature of receiving funds or donations. He appealed to other philanthropic individuals and corporate entities to follow the example set by ADG Legal in contributing to the community, as this collective effort is vital in uplifting the lives of the most vulnerable.
“Considering that Lusaka alone has more than a hundred orphanages, the demand for support is substantial. We hope that more corporate entities and well-wishers will join hands to contribute, no matter how small, towards making a difference,” he remarked.
