“Karacel” – Togetherness!
This is a multi-purpose development centre being set as FICH shifts the power agenda to strengthen the power relationship with hard-to-reach communities FICH serve so that they can realize their full potential.
FICH works in schools and remote communities with poor infrastructure like roads which limit access to most social services such as health care, and schools for children.
Problem
With low or no
technology in these remote communities, it is always harder for children to be reached with different programs especially school learners in nearby communities where Karacel is being established.
“Karacel” multi-purpose development Centre will serve the community of
Oyam and Northern Uganda as a whole. It aspires to carry community-centred
programming and will have the following facilities; Administrative offices that
will also host FICH, socially inclusive programs such as community sports
activities, a Library to promote a reading culture and information access, a Computer
Laboratory for training/software development/incubation of learning products
e.g. animations and internet access, Accommodation/guest house for visitors to
the Centre, conference hall for conducting meetings and training.
