[kictanet] Silicon Savanna

This is great!

We are running trainings every day in Western through youth volunteers. It
is a challenge to meet the excess demand.

This lead us to develop an e-learning platform so we can extend our reach.
Would any of the volunteers be willing to record the sessions or create
video content? We would make it available countrywide for free. As of now we
have a list of 10 centers in Kenya and 22 in Ghana who are waiting for
access to the content. Our first round of courses will be launched in
August.

In September after we feel we have enough content and have a solid platform,
we will actively be seeking to make it available to as many training centers
and youth (through the Internet) as possible.

Any takers?

Best,

Crystal
