We have donated two solar computer labs which we installed near the town of Mbarara in West Uganda:
Our first computer lab, at Kisyoro Secondary School (high school) was a donation to the
Millennium Villages Project (millenniumvillages.org).
This installation generates enough solar power for 5 more low power computers (at $400-$600 each, Intel Classmate PCs or Inveneo Workstation PCs).

Just up the road, but beyond the borders of the Millennium Villages Project, we were taken to visit a primary (elementary school) that was in
need of renovation. They asked us how they could get computers donated to their school, so we challenged the community that the school serves to
raise enough money to build or renovate a room that would be secure enough to host computers.
Three months later we were notified that they had
done so, which was hard to believe.But when we arrived to see what they had done, they had found the money to tear down a building and build a new
one with secure doors and windows. So we held up our end of the bargain and installed a small computer lab in this building which will also be used
as a library. Most of the children going to this school end up at Kisyoro Secondary School, so they can continue their Information Communication
Technology studies as they hopefully can afford to continue their education.
