Project Title
ICT Training and Services Hub
Project Overview
The project aims to establish a digital skills training center in Madi Okollo District, providing
rural youth with access to computer training, web development, graphics, and secretarial
services. This initiative will bridge the digital divide, foster economic growth, and enhance
employability among rural youth.
SITUATION OF THE PROJECT
In the Rural villages of Westnile (Madi Okollo), it is observed that many families are poor, many
youths are illiterate/ half literate. They do not have work to do to support their families and
they equally have no ideas in starting businesses and are not okay financially. After observing
this panic situation of the poor rural youths, we could understand that there is need of training
on information Communications Technology and other necessities that will intern help them.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
BACKGROUND SITUATION
Westnile is one of the regions in the Country with the highest rate of youth unemployment. This
is mainly caused by the illiteracy rate in information communication technology, since we have a
number of jobs that require knowledge in ICT,
The rate of access to information communication technology in Madi Okollo district is amongst
the lowest in the country with thousands of youths having no access to computers and among
these 70% can not perform simple tasks in a computer. This alone makes the project necessary
for the development of young people in our district or even create a motivational sense amidst
the youths in other districts in our beloved Country.
Project Objectives
1. To create employment opportunities to youths in the district. Being a group project,
our major aim is to create job opportunities to the group members since 99% of them
are illiterate, not only group members but looking at the large numbers of uneducated
youths in the district. So, we aim at providing skills that may in turn help them.
2. To promote unity and consolidate team spirit amongst the members and community
at large. Unity and team spirit in a group is a major thing, so one of our major aim and
objective is to lobby for computers that will help to unite the youths and consolidate
team spirit amongst them.
3. To tender any such projects manageable and profitable to the group. Not only is the
group aimed at one project but also lobbying for other manageable projects that can in
turn profit and help the members and more youths.
4. To create an avenue through which members can get financial support by lending to
them. One of the group’s main objectives is to create an avenue through which
members and communities can get financial relief through borrowing to them.
Therefore, if this is done the group will also progress financially and help the community.
5. To ensure that every member attains some degree of financial independence. The
success of the group will also help the members and the youths attain financial
independence, this is achieved through training of youths therefore making them gain
knowledge and face the real-world.
6. To prevent and control crimes and drug abuse amongst the members and youths. One
of the major aims and objective is to control the rate of drug abusers amongst the
youths. This is aimed to be achieved through the busy schedules set by the group. We
the group is therefore set to prevent crimes and see that there is financial independence
in our communities.
7. To reduce the rate of charcoal burning. The group aims at fighting hard in reducing the
too much rate of charcoal burning through engaging the youths in group activities and
tasking them to plant trees.
8. To give back to the community through offering trainings to the youths. We are
focused at giving back to the community through the trainings, financial supports and
supporting the communities in other activities.
9. Provide digital skills training to around 500 rural youth within the first year.
10. Establish a fully equipped digital skills training center in Madi Okollo District.

Problems Faced by Youths in the Community
• Lack of Education and Skills: Many youths in the community have limited access to
quality education and vocational training, making it difficult for them to secure
employment or start their own businesses.
• Unemployment and Poverty: the community has high level of unemployment and
poverty, leading to lack of opportunities and resources for youths to improve their socio-
economic status.
• Social Isolation and Stigma: Youths in the community often face social isolation and
stigma due to their socio-economic status, leading to low self esteem and limited
opportunities for social mobility.
• Lack of Mentorship and Guidance: Many youths in the community lack access to positive
role models and mentors, making it difficult for them to navigate the challenges of
adolescence and young adulthood.
• Funding of the proposals of the youth groups have been a challenge especially by the
government under the youth livelihood program which they had lobbied for since
August 2017.
• A number of youths in the community have attained computer knowledges but due to
items they are currently not been employed. So, lobbing for this project will help employ
some of the youths.
• Drug abuse is rampant in our district due to idleness amongst the youths, lobbing for
this project can engage the youths in numerous activities the group will create therefore
reducing crime rates.
