Empowering Tech in One of Uganda's Poorest Communities

Last year and again this year, our Computer Training Program has continued to grow beyond what we imagined. What began as a simple dream to introduce technology education in Rubuguri, Uganda has become a powerful tool for opportunity, confidence, and hope within the community.

Through our “Teaching the Teachers” model, we successfully trained our local team who are now helping teach and mentor others. This approach is creating sustainability because the knowledge is no longer dependent on outside volunteers—it is now growing from within the community itself.

We are especially proud to share that our very first student successfully completed the first year of study through The Angel Projects Computer Class Program. This milestone represents more than completing lessons—it represents determination, access to opportunity, and the beginning of a future filled with possibilities.

This summer, we will continue expanding the program by providing additional training for our teachers in more advanced computer programs and software applications. As their skills increase, future students will be able to learn even more practical and marketable technology skills that can help open doors to higher education, employment opportunities, and financial independence.

Because of the incredible generosity and support we have received, we are also adding another computer and iPads to our classroom. This will allow us to welcome even more students who are eager to learn. We already have students preparing to graduate and ready to join the program, and the excitement throughout the community continues to grow.

For many of these students, this is their very first experience using a computer. Watching them learn to type, create documents, build spreadsheets, and gain confidence in technology has been truly inspiring. In a world where digital skills are becoming essential, this program is helping bridge the gap between rural communities and future opportunities.

I personally look forward to traveling back to Uganda this summer to continue working alongside our team, encouraging the students, and helping expand this life-changing program even further. Seeing the excitement in the classroom, the determination of the students, and the pride of the teachers reminds me why this work matters so deeply.

Together, we are not simply teaching computer skills—we are helping build futures.

If you would like to support this growing program through donations of laptops, technology, software, or financial support, we would be deeply grateful.
