This post springs from a comment in the previous thread. It also explains a project that I hope will fill my time while I’m here in Kenya.
There are many needs here in Kenya, the majority of which I am not really in a position to help with. A myriad western NGOs seem to be tackling two most prescient problems, poverty and disease. However, I perceived a growing issue in this country that could be addressed in a novel way. The digital divide, often talked about online from zippety 1mb ADSL connections can be observed widening here by the month. Not only that, but access even to low speed Internet is beyond many people in rural areas.
When it comes to facilities for schools, well you night as well forget about it. They can’t even afford books for their pupils.
