Archdiocese of Mbarara Development AssociationOne of the most significant legacy projects of the 2026 Caravan is a modern computer laboratory and library at St. Thomas Secondary School, Nyabwina.
During a pre-Caravan assessment visit, the AMDA team found that the school had only two old, non-functional computers, leaving hundreds of learners without meaningful access to ICT. AMDA resolved to make digital education a flagship legacy project of the Caravan.
The facility brings a computer laboratory and library under one roof, where students can develop ICT skills, do research, complete assignments and build confidence with technology. It will support teaching in Mathematics, Science, English, Geography and Business Studies, and strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving and digital literacy. It can also serve teachers, youth groups, adult learners and local leaders as a community resource.
More than one legacy project
Following a pledge made at the Caravan launch by the Ntama Foundation, represented by Hon. Francis Mwebesa, the girls’ dormitory at St. Thomas Secondary School was renovated, giving students safer, more comfortable and more dignified accommodation.
The 2026 Caravan was launched on 17 April 2026 at Hotel Africana in Kampala. The Vice President, Rt. Maj. Jessica Alupo, commended AMDA and contributed UGX 10 million towards the Caravan.
