About Kulika Uganda
The mission of Kulika Uganda is to inspire communities, households and individuals with self-confidence and provide skills and knowledge to harness their resources for lasting change that is economically and environmentally sustainable in their lives. The organization's vision is to achieve an improved quality of life for all communities reached and their environment.
Vision for the project
Kulika Uganda aims to transform society (refugees and host community) through the Design for Second Life Innovations project, where beneficiaries are empowered to address their own challenges by creatively utilizing electronic devices (phones and portals) for improved livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
The project seeks to collaborate with refugee and host community members from Rhino and Imvepi refugee settlements, fostering alternative uses of Samsung phones. This initiative aims to create electronic-aided technologies that address identified problems at the individual, household, and community levels. The purpose is to engage participants inclusively, encouraging creative use of Samsung phones to design and enhance technologies that effectively tackle community challenges, leading to income-generating opportunities for a better quality of life.
