Rwenzori
Agriculture Diversification Promotion Organization (RWADIPO) has passed on a
chance of benefiting from the computer aid to civil society organizations in
eastern democratic republic of Congo following a ban on importation of second
hand computers to Uganda.
RWADIPO a
nongovernmental organization based in Kasese district have been benefiting from
computer donations from Gerry Georgatos in Australia and supply them to schools
and individuals trying to enhance their computer skills.

the government of Uganda slapped a ban on importation of second hand computers
three years ago, four hundred computers had been secured and a consignment of
about three hundred more had reached Mombasa port in Kenya.
An official
from RWADIPO Sulait Kule says that they have taken a decision to pass on the
opportunity to the Bayira community in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
through the Lubiriha based NGO called Development for Urban and Rural Communities
in DRC.
Kule said
that by April this year, a consignment of three hundred computers and one
hundred wheel chairs will have been shipped into the Democratic Republic of
Congo to the beneficiaries that will have expressed interest.
The computer
Aid project of RWADIPO started in 2006 with an aim of using an Australian
partnership to develop computer skills in the Rwenzori region.
