The Safal Uganda Baati Foundation has hosted the leadership of the Mabaati Rolling Mills (MRM) Foundation from Nairobi, Kenya, together with representatives from the Angaza Centre Foundation, during a visit to Tororo District that culminated in the handover of computers to the Safal Uganda Baati Technical Training Institute.
The donation marks a significant milestone in the Foundation’s efforts to expand access to quality education and strengthen digital learning opportunities for young people in Uganda.
The computers are expected to enhance the institution’s ICT infrastructure by enabling students to acquire practical digital skills, improve access to online learning resources, and strengthen their preparedness for higher education and employment.
The initiative comes at a time when digital literacy is increasingly recognised as a key driver of educational attainment, innovation, and economic participation.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Jackie Tahakanizibwa, Head of Corporate and External Affairs at Uganda Baati Limited, said the donation reflects the Foundation’s commitment to education as a tool for transformation.
“At the Safal Uganda Baati Foundation, we recognize that access to technology is no longer a luxury but a necessity. By providing these computers, we are helping to create an enabling environment where students can develop the digital competencies needed to thrive in today’s knowledge-based economy. We are proud to partner with organizations that share our vision of empowering young people through education,” she said.
Tahakanizibwa added that the Foundation’s investments are guided by a long-term commitment to sustainable community development and widening opportunities beyond immediate needs.
She further noted that education remains one of the most powerful drivers of social and economic transformation, with partnerships playing a critical role in bridging resource gaps and strengthening learning institutions.
The donation is expected to improve learning outcomes and expand opportunities for students by enhancing access to modern technology and digital learning tools.
The Safal Uganda Baati Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives that empower individuals, strengthen institutions, and promote sustainable social and economic development.
