Kampala: In a bid to bridge the digital divide and empower young people, media mogul Nyanzi Martin Luther has launched the Apex Digital Skills initiative. The program aims to provide free training in computer skills, online safety, and digital literacy to young people, with a special focus on the girl child.

The Apex Digital Skills program is comprehensive, covering topics such as basic computer literacy, digital marketing, and online entrepreneurship. Participants will also receive guidance on job placement, career development, and starting their own businesses.
One of the program’s key objectives is to promote digital inclusion, particularly among girls and young women. “We recognize that girls often face significant barriers to education and economic empowerment,” Luther said. “By providing them with digital skills and job opportunities, we can help level the playing field and promote gender equality.”
The initiative has already generated significant interest among young people in Uganda. “I’m excited to learn new skills and improve my employability,” said Namugambe, a 19-year-old participant. “This program is a great opportunity for me to take my future into my own hands.”
With Apex Digital Skills, Nyanzi Martin Luther is poised to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people in Uganda. By empowering them with digital skills and promoting digital inclusion, he is helping to create a more equitable and prosperous society for all.
