Est. 2026 -- Acholi Sub-Region

Northern Uganda's First Tech Hub.

Building the infrastructure for 230,000 young people to access digital skills, launch startups, and shape their own future.

400km

Distance to the nearest tech hub -- an insurmountable barrier for most families.

02 -- The Solution

The Labwor STEM Hub.

A purpose-built technology and innovation center in the Acholi sub-region, providing coding bootcamps, K-12 STEM education, startup incubation, women-in-tech programs, and digital literacy training.

Modeled after Africa's most successful tech hubs -- iHub (Nairobi), CcHub (Lagos), and Andela -- but designed specifically for the needs and context of Northern Uganda.
