A journey with digitruck - the Uganda story

Inclusive connectivity and digital skills empowerment serve as the pillars of digital inclusion. To bridge the digital skills gap, Huawei works with governments and partners to enhance digital access, deliver skills training, and advance STEM education for underserved communities.

Huawei initiated the Skills on Wheels program in 2019. It converts used shipping containers and buses into solar-powered mobile classrooms equipped with smart screens, laptops, Wi-Fi, and training resources.

These mobile classrooms travel to remote areas and provide free training to senior citizens, women, unemployed young people, and K-12 students. Over the past six years, Skills on Wheels projects have benefited more than 130,000 people in 21 countries, including Kenya, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Italy, France, Saudi Arabia, and Peru.

Launched in April 2024, the Uganda DigiTruck project has provided training for 11,317 people. Find out how digital skills have helped Ugandans open doors to new careers.
