We need PAYPAL in Uganda
Published September 7, 2008

It's been a long time since Uganda was in many crises, wars, inflations... All this causes backwardness in education and Information Tech industry in this country. Now that things are getting much better, IT industry boom is upon us, is development is coming very rapidly. The number of active internet users, debit/credit card owners, and users of many other online services, is growing from day to day. There are also thousands of internet users, who are running online businesses among which is real estate, vehicles import & export, citizen journalists, students or others in some online trading business, but they are all partly handicapped, because Uganda is not on the list of almost every major payment service.

One of them is PayPal, which is dominating the global online trade and used to settle transactions online. We are confident that entrance of PayPal service in Uganda will make possible for thousands of internet entrepreneurs undisturbed practice of their online business, especially with allowing Ugandan traders to pay for goods or receive payment from other traders for service rendered or goods sold. We are using this petition to address to PayPal management to think about this step, and to think about Uganda as a potential online market. It's a shame that Africa is discriminated and left behind in this era of global online trading!

Lets support Uganda, lets support Africa!
