About Us | Namate Family Trust - Education & Community Support

Our Story & Mission

Namate Family Trust is a non-profit family organization dedicated to bridging the digital divide in Matobo through satellite internet connectivity and modern educational tools. We believe that geographic location should never determine the quality of education a child receives.

Our Core Initiative: Since our launch, we have installed Starlink satellite internet terminals in all 11 partner schools, transforming them into digitally connected learning hubs. Every school now has reliable, high-speed internet enabling students and teachers to access global educational resources.

Google Education Empowered Partnership: All our schools are equipped with Google Workspace for Education, Google Classroom, and Google Meet. Teachers have received comprehensive training on integrating digital tools into their curriculum, and students now have access to world-class educational content.

Over 5,000 students and 500+ teachers have benefited from our programs. Our commitment is to ensure that education in Matobo is not just accessible, but transformative.
