We are a registered Non-Government Organisation working with the marginalized and vulnerable youths in Jinja District to alleviate poverty by providing ICT skills and helping organisations adopt the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in their day to day operations to better provide services to the communities they serve.
We are an ambitious, dedicated and focused organisation with a result based approach to solving problems. We work with those who are most affected, most vulnerable and those below the poverty line, including the youths, girls, disabled, children etc.
Our offices are located at Wairaka, 10 kms from Jinja town. We have training centres in Buwenda and Tubalera Vocational Training Centre. Both are a stone-throw from Jinja town centre.
We have transformed lives, inspired youths to achieve their dreams, ignite and spark children to aim to study computer science and its related disciplines, help others start their own enterprises, help NGO's and communities perform better.
Our programs are life changing and result oriented. People who had never touched a computer or ever heard of the word laptop, then in a short period of time they become web developers or computer programmers.
We provide free computer training to the marginalized rural communities in Jinja district, we are interested in ICT trainers and Business management teachers. In computers we teach web design and computer programming skills. In Business, we do accounting, marketing and digital marketing.
