Bringing Computers and Opportunity to Rural Ugandan Schools
In 2026, digital literacy is no longer an optional skill. Yet many children in rural Uganda still have little or no opportunity to use a computer at school.
A 2026 national assessment of more than 3,200 secondary schools found that only one in five schools was adequately equipped for digital learning, while 39% were completely “unplugged”—without the electricity, internet and devices needed to support digital education. Rural schools are disproportionately affected.
Tech Reach Africa is changing this by taking the classroom to the students.
Founded in 2022 as ICT4Education, Tech Reach Africa operates mobile computer labs that bring laptops and hands-on digital training directly to rural schools. Students learn practical computer skills, how to use the internet to access academic and career information, and how technology can expand their opportunities. Teachers are trained alongside them so digital learning can continue after the mobile lab leaves.
Since 2022, Tech Reach Africa has reached 2,650 learners in 21 schools and trained 350 teacher champions across Eastern and Central Uganda. Its work has also expanded to young people, with more than 870 youth graduates gaining practical skills in areas such as web development, graphic design, photography and videography.
Business for Better Society supports Tech Reach Africa’s mission to ensure that a child’s access to technology is not determined by where they live. Your support can help bring computers, digital skills and new opportunities to more rural schools and communities across Uganda.
Further Introduction to Tech Reach Africa
Mission:To empower rural communities through digital literacy, providing the tools and training necessary to unlock the potential within each individual while bridging the digital divide. We strive to create a future where access to technology education is not a privilege but a right for all, enabling rural learners and youth graduates to thrive in this highly digitalised era.
Vision:A continent where every learner, teacher or young graduate, regardless of their geographical location, can acquire the basic digital skills that can transform their lives and communities either through improving access to academic information or opportunities for their livelihood.
Their Unique Approach: Because rural learners cannot afford, or access, computers at their schools or in their communities, we take the computers to them. Through our mobile computer labs, Tech Reach Africa takes ICT learning straight to the doorsteps of the rural learners and youth graduates.
