KAMPALA — Near the poorest slum in the Ugandan capital, Madina Nakyanzi, 13, and her classmates now learn science, math, english, and even dancing through computer screens and through “e-volunteers.”
“We learnt algebra,” the student, who attends a school in Namuwongo thanks to charity Uganda Hands for Hope, tells Devex. “We learnt what science is, how to ask questions, and how and why.”
Her classmate, Miracle Lokuru, 14, has learned how to read and adds “I have learnt about gravity. I have learnt confidence.”
