In Kampala, dfcu Foundation placed one hundred computers into the hands of Uganda's Ministry of ICT, not merely as a gift of hardware, but as a declaration that the digital future must be shared. The gesture, rooted in a formal partnership and aligned with Uganda's national Digital Transformation Roadmap, reflects a growing recognition that access to technology is not a privilege but a precondition for participation in modern life. Where opportunity has long been unevenly distributed, this initiative reaches toward the communities most at risk of being left behind.
