I’m a website developer and WordPress enthusiast from Uganda. I love sharing knowledge, creating visually appealing websites, and contributing to open source.”
Allow me remind you dearly that the @WordPress#CampusConnect Eastern and Central Uganda schools is still on.
Wanna know where we go next. Answer may be your school
I was so shocked when I got to hear of this. When I was in med school in my earlier years before majoring in IT, our senior attending trained us to always pocket because we always struggled with where to keep our hands and keep them from infection.
Have you ever wondered why healthcare practitioners working in infested environment never carry infections from patient to patient?
This is because of the practice of keeping their hands to their pockets, not even touching themselves
This is professional restraint and it takes time to master.
@hellofromTonya Sometimes you think you gat a bad season only to hear of someone that's having it worse. Sorry @hellofromTonya I pray that God will carry you through.
Good vibes and love from us (me and wife) praying for fast recover and good vibes up ahead.
Much love
I just registered for #WPA11yDay, a free, virtual 24-hour conference on @WordPress accessibility taking place Today October 7th and tomorrow 8th, and you should too! Get your free ticket at https://t.co/55O7QpPHNg #WPAD2026#WordPress#a11y
We are getting hotter! St. Denis Ssebuggwawo SS Ggaba is in!
WordPress Campus Connect continues to grow across Central and Eastern Uganda, and we are excited to welcome St. Denis Ssebuggwawo SS Ggaba into the journey.
With every new school, we are creating more opportunities for students to discover WordPress, build practical digital skills, explore open source, create their first websites, and see how technology can support their education, careers, ideas, and communities.
As we move into the next phase of Campus Connect, we are also working to make the experience richer for the students we meet. That means going beyond the session itself and connecting learners to resources and opportunities they can continue using afterward.
We are therefore inviting partners and supporters to help us strengthen the upcoming school engagements through student opportunities, print materials, internet support, laptop stickers, domains and hosting, mentorship, learning resources, internships, and other practical benefits for learners.
If your organisation has something that could help a student continue learning, building, or growing after Campus Connect, we would be very happy to explore how it can be included.

More students building. More students creating.

More learning. More building. More opportunities.

St. Anthony Girls’ Secondary School Kakooge is in!
@WordPress Campus Connect continues to grow across Central and Eastern Uganda, and we are excited to welcome @stanthonykakoge into the journey.
With every new school, we are creating more opportunities for students to discover WordPress, build practical digital skills, explore open source, create their first websites, and understand how technology can support their education, careers, ideas, and communities.
This stop is especially exciting for us because it continues a growing effort to expose more young women and girls to the web, open source, digital creation, and the opportunities available within the wider technology ecosystem.
We want the students we meet to see technology not simply as something they consume, but as something they can build, shape, and lead.
As Campus Connect moves into its next phase, we are also working to make each engagement richer for the learners. That means going beyond the physical session and connecting students to resources and opportunities they can continue using afterward.

More girls building.
More girls creating.
More girls shaping the open web.
A future of WordPress with more women in it.
More learning. More building. More opportunities.

Thank you @SteveUG , this means a lot. 🙏
None of this happens without the community and the volunteers who keep showing up, supporting and encouraging us. You're the reason we keep going.
Our goal stays the same: taking @WordPress to underserved communities. More to come! 💙 #WPCC_UG #WordPress_in_Education
We are at @umu_nkozi today!
WordPress Campus Connect is continuing its journey across Central and Eastern Uganda, and today we are engaging students at Uganda Martyrs University in a practical session around WordPress, open source, digital skills, and opportunities on the web.
The focus is on helping students move from simply using the internet to actually building with it.
Throughout the session, participants will explore how WordPress can support personal portfolios, school and community projects, digital publishing, business ideas, freelancing, and future careers in technology.
One of the most exciting parts of Campus Connect is seeing students realise that they do not need to wait until they are experts before they begin creating. With the right guidance, tools, and community, they can start building now.
Today is about learning, experimenting, asking questions, and opening doors to what is possible with WordPress.
WordPress Campus Connect at Uganda Martyrs University.

Our series of #WordPressCampusConnect - East and Central Uganda continues. We are unstoppable.! Thank you @mocursor for giving me the opportunity to volunteer on this project alongside a formidable team.
The feedback from @WordPress Campus Connect at Groundbreaker Talents is encouraging.
WordPress confidence moved from 18.4% before the session to 78.9% after.
Also:
84.2% improved their confidence
100% want to keep learning
97.2% would join a WordPress Club
86.8% would definitely recommend Campus Connect
Students are asking for more than training. They want internships, courses, domains & hosting, mentorship, freelancing opportunities, and community pathways.
That is exactly what we want Campus Connect to become: a bridge from learning to opportunity.
Many thanks to the team that was with me on this one: @SteveUG, @ocen_chris, @davidofug, @ShebaAyinza, @mrogers4christ, @widesploit
and to the many sponsors @jetpack@bluehost@Hostinger@WooCommerce@yoast@elemntor@ForthFocusGroup@EzoneSchool@ablestateafrica@SharebilityUg@Infinityi3C@cursortechug@EduTechTrsNet
Thank you so much Groundbreaker Talents for welcoming us
