About URICT Uganda

Uganda Rural Information and Communication Technology/Education Center (URICT-Uganda) was founded in 2005 by two professional and developmentally oriented youths (Gabula Waiswa and Dr. Monica Mukyala, Victoria Namukasa)

Initially, the organization was formed to assist the rural people and villagers get access to information, fight the digital age, advocate for their fundamental rights and improve their health and socio-economic status and lives using an integrated approach especially through Information and Communication Technology. 

Almost 8years down the road however, the organization is trying to win and work with a cross-section of individuals and organizations at different stages, gender, educational level, faith, ethnicity, settings and professions, who share its vision and mission, justifying a participatory refocus this time around.

As URICT - UGANDA continues to grow, and due to changing needs of the various categories of interest groups with a bearing on the organization, like all growing and learning organizations, URICT - UGANDA is metamorphosing into an organization that serves a broad range of specific interests, with a focus on particular aspects as reflected in its new vision, mission, purpose, objectives and values (August 2013)
