Why support matters
Learning to use a computer takes access to one, and time to try things, make mistakes and practise.
What is the problem?
You cannot learn to use a computer from a book alone. You need to touch one, make mistakes on it and try again. Young people in Uganda may still find it hard to get regular time on a computer, a reliable connection and someone to guide them. Brian lived a version of this around 2005, and he wants the path to be easier for the next person.
Make room for practice
A shared computer and someone to ask for help can make a difference to a learner’s first steps. The initiative is still being prepared, so we cannot promise places, qualifications or particular outcomes.
What help is requested?
Working laptops, desktop computers and accessories that are already in Uganda or bought locally; funding to buy devices locally and pay for internet data; time and skills from trainers, mentors and volunteers; and introductions to schools, community groups, companies and funders.
What do we not promise?
We do not promise jobs, certificates or particular results for any young person. We do not claim numbers of learners, devices or partners that we cannot show. TFast is a business, not a charity, and does not issue tax receipts.
Why TFast?
TFast Digital Agency has built websites, apps and software for businesses in Uganda since 2019. The person leading this work learned computing the hard way and graduated in Software Engineering in 2024. See the portfolio and the open-source projects for published work.
