Description de projet: 

Golden Hill Junior school as part of the organization Mother's Heart Uganda - Computer Education in rural Mutoto, Uganda

Mother's Heart Uganda is a registered community based organization in Mutoto in Mbale, Uganda. It was founded in 2016 with the aim to support especially children and mothers in the local communities. We built a primary school and offer education to the local children, but also courses to the mothers of the community to empower them to become self-sufficient. Because most schools or families cannot afford computers, there is a lack of IT education in Uganda, which prevents participation in digital services. To expand the educational offers to the community, we want to include a computer room in our local school to educate children with basic computer skills. We also want to apply for tablets, which can be included during the different classes to gain routine in the use of digital devices (e.g. for writing tasks, search, information, presentations, and more).

The computer room will not only be available to the children, but also to the community members, focussing youth and women. IT classes will be included in the mother’s courses and additional courses offered to the other community members. We also want to provide supervised free access to the computers to the whole community at certain times of the week to enable them to inform themselves on the web or access their email.

The teachers of the school will be included in the whole process. Since many teachers also never used a computer before, it is important to train them first to enable them to share their knowledge with the children and the community. For the training, either volunteers or local computer-affine people (e.g. from the close city Mbale) will be employed. This step can be conducted already with the first arriving laptops. One teacher will be the responsible head of the computer room and a team of teachers will organize the computer classes and the free access periods. The basic computer application (e.g file system) and usage of text editing software is currently teached by a volunteer on two devices the school received from past volunteers.

As a further perspective, we can also imagine using the computer room to offer a guided health information center especially for mothers in the community. The organisation frequently has international visitors and volunteers. The transport concept is to involve volunteers of countries with Labdoo-Hubs for the doortrips.
