Information
technology facilitates the flow of knowledge in modern
society. Access to information and using that information to grow knowledge that
benefits one's community is possibly the greatest benefit of the
Internet and other technologies. Zack Matere, a farmer in Soy, Kenya, searched for a way to save his
dying crops. What he discovered was a desire to help local farmers and
businesses access information.
"It is not right that as knowledge gets more and more to be online that good, hardworking, intelligent people in rural parts of Africa and the developing world are left behind as while solutions to their problems are available in the ‘air’."
"Leo pamoja’, which means ‘Together Today’ in Swahili, is my
attempt to enable rural communities in the developing world access
information from the internet and other sources right there at the
village Market Square. A simple wooden or Metal Information Board is put
up at the Square and posted on with printed out information and
Pictures that are updated on a daily basis.
Men, women, the youth and children are able to communicate to other villages through an S.M.S Blackboard.
My pilot project in Likuyani District Western Kenya, I intend
to put up twenty-six noticeboards in twenty villages and six primary
schools and be able to reach seventy thousand people with regular
digital content."
