A computer services industry can go a long way towards improving living standards
in Uganda. New internet infrastructure is opening up opportunities for those living
in nearly every corner of the country. Our “Connect Uganda” project will use the
internet to provide information relevant to different regions, in local languages
(there are 42 in Uganda alone), helping educate community members in areas such
as healthcare and agriculture. Using efficient Android based tablets running on
solar power, we hope to create an information network with free community access
through our partner libraries. Promoted effectively, this network can help increase
quality of life for all.
Through a grant awarded by Electronic Information For Libraries (EIFL), we are currently
working on the first phase of the Connect Uganda project: installating solar power
and tablets in five different language speaking communities, which will run our
custom software to access information relevant (initial related to agriculture)
to each location.
