Summary
To conquer hunger and the 'digital divide', we expand our projects to reach all our 250 schools; a vegetable garden to provide school meal and Internet access to leapfrog the villagers.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Funds will be used to achieve the following objectives: (1) Add vegetable gardens for sustainable farming and feeding of rural schoolchildren at our 250 village schools. (2) Expand a mobile e-mail receive and delivery system via motor taxi and wi-fi technology to bring the benefits of communications, telemedicine, news, e-commerce and participatory democracy to remote villages. (3) Support telemedicine service in these remote rural villages.
How will this project solve this problem?
Add vegetable gardens for sustainable farming, expand a mobile e-mail receive and delivery system via motor taxi, and support telemedicine service in these remote rural villages.
Potential Long Term Impact
To expand education, health care, food production and communications in the villages where we have built schools. To create a more equitable rural environment.
Project Message
Let's teach them how to fish and make our contributions sustainable rather than continuing to give them fish.
