OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT 

This project aims to upgrade and expand three existing community Information and Communication Technology  (ICT) Centers that BOSCO Uganda established in 2012, 2014, and 2016. The upgrade also includes deploying new equipment for the ICT Centers such as computers, batteries, and printers.  

WHY IS THIS PROJECT IMPORTANT? 

There is a strong need to upgrade the three ICT Community Centers as, over time, the equipment has reached obsolescence and is now broken or not functioning properly. These ICT Community Centers play an important role in these communities such as facilitating access to resources like education, health, jobs, e-commerce, e-governance, information, and communications.
