Help Provide Computers to Educate Young Women in Uganda

Summary

Act Women Foundation (AWF) - Uganda is a nonprofit nongovernment organization (NGO) that is located in Kasese, Uganda. AWF - Uganda was founded to tackle human rights and democratic issues that women face in and around Western Uganda. The mission of the foundation is to empower women, vulnerable children and most at risk population (MARP) for healthy and positive living through the provision of education and vital resources.

Challenge

Computers and proper infrastructure are currently scarce in Kasese, thereby hindering the deployment of IT training to local women. The objective of this program is to provide computer-based multimedia training to 50 young women at a learning center in Kasese, Uganda, in order to improve their employability. 

Solution

The proposal is to provide necessary computers as well as information and communication technology equipment for the women. The learning center in Kasese would also benefit from the development of multimedia courses to ensure that these aspiring women have adequate skills to launch their professional careers. 

How can YOU help?

Your gift of financial donations will be used to purchase the computers and other necessary information and communication technology equipment. Additionally, you may assist with the development of the proposed courses to provide professional education to the women.
