1 – Through a series of workshops, the association delivered training sessions on legal, human, and gender rights which are critical for the effective integration of refugees in the local communities in the city.
B – In partnership with Young African Refugees for Integral Development (YARID), impart refugees with digital skills, and furnish an ICT innovation hub at YARID equipped with 10 desktop computers and 12 months paid internet to support refugees through ICT, online learning and skills development.
Promoting inclusive education for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)
In 2022, the Chevening Alumni Association of Uganda (CAAU) embarked on a project to promote inclusive education for persons with disabilities by constructing a modern Adaptive Technology resource center at the Kampala School of the Physically Handicapped. The resource center was equipped with computers to aid their education and access to all relevant information online, closing the gap of internet access for PWDs. This was intended to provide an inclusive education to enable learners with disabilities to access equitable education, allowing learners with disabilities to study and mingle with other students within a similar education system.
