Go Techie goes to Nakivale Refugee Settlement

In a strategic partnership, Tangaza Charity Initiative, a committed non-profit organization, and the GoSoapy Group, a grassroots refugee community organization, are collaborating on this transformative project. This project is meticulously designed to confront the daunting challenges that confront the Nakivale refugee community in Uganda. Foremost among these challenges is the profound digital divide, compounded by a critical deficiency in financial literacy.

At its core, this project embodies a holistic solution to empower refugees in the Nakivale community. It aims to equip them with vital digital skills, enhance financial literacy, and unlock latent entrepreneurial potential. Addressing complex challenges such as limited educational access and economic opportunities, this intervention emerges as an essential lifeline.
