PC Tech Magazine is Born

East Africa's Most Contemporary Magazine

PC Tech Communications, Uganda collaborates with PearlRichards Foundation to produce PCTech Magazine. PC Tech Magazine is a monthly technology magazine that was debuted in February 2010, which, to-date has grown to become a major force in technology circles, being the only MONTHLY magazine on technology. It runs content geared at facilitating both the understanding and application of technology in business processes in Africa, which makes Technology education a core objective.

To contribute to the promotion of technology education in Africa, the PC Tech "Educate" initiative has been launched. Through this initiative, PC Tech  and PearlRichards Foundation donates 5 magazine per month to 20 schools and institutions of higher learning across Uganda. This initiative primarily focuses on Uganda but will be extended to other African countries by the end of the year.

So far, institutions under this programme include: African College of Commerce, Makerere University Business School, St. Lawrence University, Kigezi College Butobere,  and Kigezi High School. Members of the PC Tech "Educate" initiative will also be able to participate in an on-line interaction, in which they can discuss ICT-related topics, and engage in knowledge sharing.
