U-TOUCH

U-TOUCH: $15,000 to hire a program director in Uganda to manage its digital learning centers in five rural communities. This hire was designed to alleviate human resource stressors on the program, which until that point had been wholly operated by volunteers. The centers provide free technology training, including Microsoft literacy, as well as life skills training such as goal setting and business operation to empower beneficiaries to create their own businesses. The centers are sustained through fee-based copy and digital service programs that are marketed to area residents.
