Am Semwogerere Edward  aged 19 from Kibibi Village, Wamirongo Parish, Busukuma Sub County Wakiso District, I sat for senior six at Secred Heart  Secondary School Bombo, Luweero District.
I would like to appreciate Eagles Youth Development Group through ICT FOR YOUTH EMPLOYMENT Project; previously I did not know the value of ICT is community transformation. After the first training module, am empowered to use a computer for different purpose for example employment creation and online learning. The training is youth friendly tailored towards building capacity of unemployed youth. Am exposed and empowered on different uses of computer, got new resourceful friends. Through the project am now linked to different people as well as different ideas.
My stay at Eagles Youth Center has enabled me to know more about its developmental programme and its objectives like: empowering the youths with vast skills in ICT and reducing HIV infection among the youth. I pray that God guide Mr. Musoke .S. Twahah the Executive Director to get necessary to support and train more unemployed with practical skills. Thanks

Achieving universal access to basic hygiene and sanitation can unlock annualized net benefits of $45 billion and $65 billion respectively.
