In every district, there are bright young minds bursting with ideas — waiting only for a chance to create.
Our ICT Clubs and Innovation Hubs give them that chance.

We support and mentor ICT Clubs in over 283 secondary schools across Uganda, transforming ordinary classrooms into mini innovation hubs where learning becomes practical, exciting, and future-oriented.
