Digital skills in Nakivale are at the heart of what CAMPUS Digital Hub provides. We are a community-based organization located in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda. Our name stands for Connect, Assist, Mentor, Provide, Uplift, and Support values that shape everything we do. Founded in 2023 and started its operations in 2024 to unlock the potential of refugees and underserved communities by providing access to digital skills, tools, and opportunities that lead to real change. Through community-led learning, innovation, and support, we help people build brighter futures for themselves and for others.
We equip the people of Nakivale with digital skills to confidently navigate online spaces, protect themselves from digital risks, and access new opportunities for learning, connection, and growth.
A digitally connected society where every individual has equal access to opportunities and resources to contribute meaningfully to their communities and the world
Nakivale is full of potential, but a lack of digital access holds people back from jobs, education, and opportunity. CAMPUS Digital Hub directly addresses this by teaching vital digital skills, empowering individuals to build their own futures and thrive. We’re giving the community the tools they need to lead the way.
Life in Nakivale Refugee Settlement is challenging, especially for young people who have the passion and talent to do more but often lack access to opportunities. Many face barriers to education, technology, and employment not because they lack ability, but because they’ve been underserved for too long. We created CAMPUS to respond to that need. We believe the youth here are not just learners; they are problem-solvers, creators, and future leaders. What they need is a place to grow their skills, share their ideas, and turn their energy into action. CAMPUS is that place, a hub where technology meets purpose, where communities learn, innovate, and rise together. This is why CAMPUS exists-to make sure no potential is wasted.
We are rooted in Nakivale. This is home, and our work begins here with the people who live it every day. Everything we build is shaped by the realities of this place and made to serve this community first.
We align our work with five key Sustainable development goals(SDGs) to support inclusive growth, reduce inequality, and create lasting impact through technology and education. These goals help us focus on what matters for our community’s development.
Our team is made of people who think, build and teach. Every person here carries a sense of responsibility for Nakivale. We care about learning, creativity and useful work. Our ain is to grow people who can build things that matter for themselves and for this place and can stand anywhere they go next.
Our work starts in Nakivale, but the lessons do not stay here. When people learn to think, build and solve problems in a place with real pressure, they carry those skills wherever they go. What we test here can grow in other settlements, towns or countries because the principles remain the same. Start small, stay practical, and build things that make sense in everyday life. This is how the work moves beyond one place without pretending to be bigger than it is.
Whether or not the world is watching, we are creating digital change where it is needed most. If you believe in action, not just talk; join the movement, support the mission, shape the future
