Governmental Organisation (NGO) Oasis Uganda are
working together to build an IT container classroom at the
Oasis Academy located in Musoto Village, Mbale District; one
of the poorest communities in Eastern Uganda. ITEC will be
setting up a fully furnished IT classroom with PCs, monitors, a
server, projector, accessories like keyboards and mice and a
good broadband connection. The technology will be made
available to the 150 children being educated at the
Oasis Academy in Musoto.
ZAMBIA
Cisco has helped reduced elephant poaching
thanks to a project that it has undertaken in Zambia.
The company partnered with the World Wildlife Fund
to establish real-time connected surveillance around Lake
Itezi-Tezhi in Zambia’s Kafue National Park. By setting up four
masts and FLIR thermal cameras across the lake, surveillance
is connected to a newly built central command centre
where movements can be monitored, and poachers can be
apprehended before approaching the shore from the lake.
Since the technology installation in February 2017, there
have been no elephant poaching incidents reported.
Before the technology was implemented, the park
was seeing reports of one poaching incident
every four to five days.
