Donating old equipment helps. This should become more widespread instead of throwing it away.

I hope the world can come together to help those people that need technology to survive. It’s just a matter of giving, and we can change the lives and futures of this great people.

Well done Jon, AppLab is not just great idea but a “Brave” and “Fantastic” business breakthrough considering the macro-economic factors existing in our beautiful continent-AFRICA. Keep it up, mate, because as it goes ” Spending your time wisely and focused can make you plenty of money” and most importantly- What you think about yourself is much more important than what others think of you.
I will be hoping to read more on your progress!.

@Hash thanks for the praise, we’re doing what we can to be a good model for the rest of Africa and even the rest of Uganda.

@AL I agree that the biggest disappointment is the lack of local investors in this space, hopefully they’ll realize this sooner rather than later.

Great write up. Jon is definitely contributing to the spike in interest in Uganda and I am looking forward to what Appfrica Labs unveils next.

Hash, Great profile on Appfrica Labs. You’re absolutely right! We need more innovation hubs across Africa. One idea could be raising capital from local (or international) investors to replicate the model across different cities…
