students excited about u-report

U-report being 100% free encouraged participants in the training to join U-report since all who attend had mobile phones. They came to realize that what is only needed is their voice to make a difference in their communities. One of the participants by the names of Mr.Kusemererwa  Emmanuel student Mountains of the Moon university noted that “the platform is user-friendly since at this era of technology every one at least can text a message and respond accordingly since most of the people now know how to read and write.”He also noted that immediate feedback received on mobile phones indicates that a lot is being done by UNICEF and partner organizations like RIC-NET to unlock peoples’ potential to realize development at grass root levels and include the excluded people in communities.
