ST Foundation and the NGO MLFM (Movimento per la Lotta Contro la Fame nel Mondo), together with METID –Polytechnic of Milan, partnered in 2006 to launch a project to fight the digital divide in Uganda. Through this initiative, different goals were met: a Wi-fi network was created at BCKSS (Bishop Cipriano Kihangire Secondary School) in Luzira, to allow students and teachers to communicate and share knowledge inside the school through the net; internet offices and laboratory classrooms were linked; the internet connection was distributed to the School Hospital to allow better administration and telemedicine applications; teachers were trained, so that they could profit from such benefits during didactical activities.
DU training in Uganda benefited 1,600 trainees since its inception. The program ended in the first quarter of 2010.
