David M Wampamba
In the middle of Kampala, right where things were tough, lived David. He was curious about computers and how they worked, even though his family didn’t have much money for a fancy school.
Instead, he taught himself by reading his friends’ notes from their computer classes and using online tutorials.
He didn’t even have his own computer, but that didn’t stop him. For more than five years, he went to internet cafes and stayed up late to learn. He got really good at understanding computer stuff like hardware, coding, CMS, and making software.
Now, David helps others learn about business, software, and computers. He’s a visionary leader at a startup that connects untapped talents called Ablestate. He still spends some time working on computer stuff, showing that no matter where you start, you can do amazing things.
