Project Narrative

The Story Behind Uganda Tech Village

Our Vision

Uganda Tech Village represents a revolutionary approach to technology education and women's empowerment in Africa. We believe that true transformation comes not from charity, but from creating sustainable business models that empower local communities.

Our goal is to create the first tech bootcamp in the world where African female students become company owners through multiple generations, building a self-sustaining ecosystem of innovation and leadership.

Empowering women through technology ownership, not dependency

Uganda Tech Village Mission

The Story

Born from the recognition that traditional aid models often create dependency rather than empowerment, Uganda Tech Village was conceived as a business-first approach to social impact.

Instead of charity, we create a sustainable software development company where students earn equity through their participation and success. This model ensures long-term viability and genuine empowerment.

Each cohort of 8 students (6 women, 2 men) receives world-class technical training while building real software for European companies, creating immediate value and sustainable revenue streams.

From students to stakeholders in just 12 months

Uganda Tech Village Model

Our Philosophy

The Principles That Guide Our Mission

Empowerment Through Ownership

We believe true empowerment comes from ownership, not assistance. Students become stakeholders in the company they help build, creating lasting change and sustainable impact.

Sustainable Impact

Our model is designed for long-term sustainability. By creating a profitable business that serves real clients, we ensure the project can continue and grow without external funding.

Innovation & Excellence

We maintain European standards of quality while fostering African innovation. Students learn cutting-edge technologies and apply them to solve real-world problems for international clients.

Our Mission

To create a self-sustaining technology ecosystem in Uganda that empowers women through ownership, drives innovation through excellence, and builds bridges between African talent and global opportunities.

We're not just training developers; we're creating the next generation of African tech leaders and entrepreneurs who will shape the continent's digital future.
