Young people in Kampala have received a big boost in their journey toward digital skills and better job opportunities. The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has partnered with MTN Uganda to improve digital training through the Kabalagala Youth One Stop Centre. This exciting partnership was officially launched today.
As part of the launch, MTN donated important digital equipment to the centre. They also installed their Skills Academy program on 15 computers. To make learning even easier, MTN will provide free internet at the centre for a full year. This means young people can now access online training, tools, and resources without any cost.
This great move is part of MTN’s annual campaign called #21DaysOfYelloCare, which encourages its employees to volunteer and support the community. The campaign focuses on giving back to society, and this year’s focus is on helping the youth gain digital skills that can open doors to jobs, education, and entrepreneurship.
Officials from both KCCA and MTN were present at the event. They shared their excitement about how this initiative will help reduce youth unemployment and promote innovation among young people in Kampala.
The Kabalagala Youth One Stop Centre will now serve as a modern digital learning hub. Young people in the area can visit the centre to improve their computer skills, access free internet, and take part in digital training programs that will prepare them for the future.
This partnership is a powerful example of how public and private sectors can come together to change lives. With better tools, internet access, and training, the youth in Kampala now have a brighter future ahead.
