U-TOUCH

U-TOUCH was founded by Deb and Ron Plotkin, two intrepid adventurers and travelers who were so moved by the tragedies they witnessed in northern Uganda that they knew they could not return to “life as usual” without making a significant effort to improve living conditions for the populations of this region. In their determination to improve the lives of people in this war torn region they began developing Digital Centers, places where young and old alike could come and actually touch a computer for the first time – connect with the outside world, share their stories, and learn that they were not alone in their struggle to regain freedom, dignity, and a purpose in life.

To empower individuals and communities in developing countries to create solutions to their own challenges through access to and knowledge of internet technology.
