The Butterfly Project

12 selected Butterfly participants (Kampala and Lyantonde) receive 30 hours/month access to internet, so they can communicate with others, learn computer/internet, liaise with their international mentor, learn about world issues and have fun too!

These will be used to store information from emails, training notes in PDF format.

For three of the Butterflies, travel from the rural areas to the training is costly and time-consuming.

Only one of the rural Butterfly group has ever been to Kampala and even that was facilitated by SEA in June. This is a planned trip to a modern Agricultural entrepreneurship Centre, but it will also expand the horizons.

We intend to use texting in the main for calls, so call costs will be minimal during the year. However, if they have a handset, then we can call them urgently and they can always be in touch with us, regardless of internet access.

We are looking for enthusiastic mentors for the project, who have some experience in mentoring and social enterprise.

Travelling to the venue each week will be made more straightforward with bicycles for three of the members of the project.

4 of the Butterflies would become more productive on the project, if they had a bicycle to travel from place to place.
