Edoovillage #2829 - Uganda, Namagoma A village: Namagoma UMEA Primary School

The Namagoma UMEA Primary School Computer Lab Project aims to bridge the digital divide by providing access to technology for both students and the wider community in Namagoma, Wakiso District, Uganda. Our goal is to create a well-equipped and sustainable computer lab that will empower students with digital skills and support community development through digital literacy.

We are requesting 10 laptops and 2 tablets to support this initiative, and the devices will be used in various ways to maximize their impact:

Integration into School Curriculum: The laptops will be integrated into the school’s curriculum, allowing students to participate in ICT lessons. These lessons will introduce students to basic computing, internet usage, and digital literacy, ensuring they are well-prepared for future educational and career opportunities in the digital age.

Interactive Learning: The laptops will enhance traditional classroom subjects such as math, science, and languages by providing access to educational software, e-learning platforms, and interactive tools that improve engagement and comprehension.

After-School ICT Clubs: The laptops will be used to form after-school ICT clubs, where students can explore coding, digital creativity, and problem-solving in a collaborative environment. These clubs will help students develop skills such as programming, graphic design, and data analysis.

Community Access and Training: Outside of school hours, the lab will offer subsidized access to community members. We plan to provide digital literacy classes for adults and youths, focusing on essential computer skills like using productivity tools (Microsoft Office), online job searching, and internet safety. This access will help community members improve their employability and enhance their participation in the digital economy.

Vocational Training and Entrepreneurship Support: The laptops will be used to offer training sessions for local entrepreneurs and farmers, teaching them how to use digital tools to manage finances, market their products, and access valuable online resources. This will boost local businesses and create a more resilient, tech-savvy community.
