"Brilliance is equally distributed, opportunity is not!"

Deborah Plotkin, founder of U-TOUCH

In this digital age we live in, it's hard to imagine a life without access to a computer, smartphone, or the internet. Many people in disadvantaged regions don't have the opportunities remaining trapped, living in poverty. At U-TOUCH, we believe technology is a crucial stepping stone to conquer inequality and injustice in underprivileged regions where there is little opportunity, thus bridging the digital divide.

While technology and vocational training sets U-TOUCH apart, we see the big picture! Education is needed in many areas of life to become self-sustaining members of society. That's why U-TOUCH provides Education, Empowerment, Employment and Entrepreneurship to Uganda's youth and families. Working in partnership with the community, our programs begin at an early age and include:

Education support to ensure adolescents living in poverty get the education they deserve.
Women's Empowerment Training (WET) including topics such as; domestic violence, women's land rights education, prevention of early teen pregnancy, disease, and child marriage.
ICT and WE programs all receive training in employment, entrepreneurship, and micro-enterprise.

Hundreds of thousands in Uganda have benefited from U-TOUCH programs. This successful model can be duplicated anywhere in the world. Through this sustainable model with a ripple effect has benefited those living in conditions of extreme poverty in Uganda, billions worldwide are benefiting from the impact of these U-TOUCH graduates innovating extraordinary technology, including Google tools. But we can't do it alone. Please join us and/or support us. Our Summer Retreat is a fun way to raise money for this important cause!

U-TOUCH the World was founded in 2010 by Deborah Plotkin. What began in 2005 as an idea to create a high school program to sponsor displaced orphans from the LRA War turned into a visit to Uganda in 2007 for Deborah and her family. It was the tail end of the war, and what they saw changed their lives forever. There was devastation from the war, extreme poverty, and the lack of opportunity. In the schools, there were no textbooks, electricity, libraries, computers, Internet, or even running water. Deborah knew she had to do something and had the idea to bring technology to Uganda. By teaching technology, the youth could learn skills commensurate with the developed world and have the opportunity for further education, employment, and entrepreneurship. Deborah envisioned the sponsored students and communities of Uganda creating self-sustaining lives for themselves, not dependent on outside aid. This turned into a lifelong passion and mission to transform the lives of those living in conditions of extreme poverty and create opportunity through technology hubs. In turn, U-TOUCH has transformed hundreds of thousands of lives in Uganda since its inception in 2010 and reached billions across the world who use their innovative tools.
