The Hubs did not set up the learners to get jobs in the computer industry, but it did teach people how to integrate the technology in their lives. Several students reported after taking the course, signing up for further education in the computer science industry.
Testimonial
Mr. Onyilo, Henry - University Graduate Teacher of Physics and Mathematics:
“I benefited so much from the ICT Hub 2-day training. It encouraged me to go for further studies. In fact I have enrolled for Computing and Information Systems and MTAC, Mbale Campus. I also started teaching computer lessons at school to Senior 1 and Senior 2 pupils and right now they are doing end-of-term-two Computer Examinations.”
What did they do?
WHAT is project Badiliko?

The schools are upgraded with solar power and long range wifi, and are designed to be used as teaching schools for the day and by the rest of the community for a wider range of skills after school.
