An IT consultant from the Commonwealth secretariat, Lesley Ann Noel, led a group of trainers from Kampala, who are teaching about 20 women at Home Again hotel, Kabale.
She said on Wednesday it was interesting that even uneducated women could cope with computer training.
Noel said she had learnt that Ugandan baskets, textiles, and crafts could fetch good money on the international market.
The chairperson UWEAL Kabale chapter, Irene Mbaruka, said women would continue to use the skills they would acquire in the training to widen their knowledge. Kabale deputy speaker Lydia Turyahumara thanked UWEAL and its partners for improving the welfare of women.
