Uganda: Uconnect Takes ICT to Schools

At least 100 schools that would otherwise not afford it have been able to buy computers at lower prices from an NGO that extends Information Technology to rural areas. The NGO, Uconnect imports used computers from Europe and USA, revamps them and supplies them to schools and organisations. The organisation also helps them to network their computer labs and to get Internet connections. In the first year of the project, the organisation distributed hundreds of computers to 60 mostly rural-based schools.
