Battery Operated Systems for Community Outreach (BOSCO) Uganda is a nonprofit organization under the trusteeship of the Catholic Archdiocese of Gulu with registration number B9410051328-N registered on March 9, 2007.

BOSCO collaborated with Inveneo to place their low-power PCs powered by solar panels in the Catechist Training Center and the Caritas Office in Gulu, as well as at schools, hospitals, colleges and Churches in Pabbo, Alero, Lacor, Coope, Jen'Geri, Unyama, and Pagak IDP camps.

Twenty years of conflict and displacement have isolated the people of northern Uganda from the technological developments rapidly evolving in their own country and throughout the world.

However, with peace in northern Uganda, BOSCO-Uganda attempts to turn dependency into self-advocacy through the use of innovative and collaborative ICT technologies.

Moving beyond the provision of technical solutions, BOSCO is concentrating on the development of both proven and emerging directions for ICT usage.

Zuehlke established relationships with the Archdiocese of Gulu, including the Archbishop John Baptist Odama and Fr.

In 2007, northern Uganda was benefiting from a tenuous cease fire, yet nearly 1.7 million people throughout the region remained stuck and isolated in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps.

The Archbishop's priority was to help the Acholi people of northern Uganda end the severe isolation they were experiencing in the camps.

By connecting camp schools, community centers, parishes, and health clinics to the outside world through Internet, the Acholi people could begin to end their isolation by advocating for their own cause.

With the help of other board members, these individuals consult with BOSCO-Uganda and aid in fundraising, technology, capacity and public relations.

UNICEF has provided an initial grant of $10,000 to carry out community ICT trainings and install five Internet sites.

The NPCA announced BOSCO and their proposal, “Achieving Rural Literacy through Innovative Web 2.0 ICT Use in Post-conflict Northern Uganda,” as one of the two first round winners in June 2010.
