“We Are Equipping For The 21ST Century Life, Work & Sustainability”
ICT is destined to be a new normal across Uganda, and is expected to be a driving force towards achievement of the Uganda Vision 2040; yet effective ICT practices is still a myth, adult basic computer & digital Literacy still below 30%. For rural Uganda, 7 in 10 Youth are not willing to choose options associated to computer & other hands-on Skills; this perception has escalated long term unemployment, kept individuals vulnerable and poor.
WENET supports the use of ICT, not only to reshape the employment market but also presenting lifetime opportunities for Ugandans; 9 in 10 of our past beneficiaries who attained digital skills qualification, a practical and transferable competency, are working confidently, effectively and independently in life.
