The Rural Android (RuDroid) Women and Girls project by Denis Miki Foundation is a Digital Empowerment project aimed at putting up Digital infrastructures (Community Cyber Café) in rural communities in order to support community access to the internet. It is a project to teach the women and girls of suburb and under-served communities on how to use a computer and their digital phones to empower themselves.
The expected impact is to train rural women and girls on how to use a computer and record their success stories after every 6 months and run the #RuDroidWomen and #RuDroidGirls campaign to stir up and inspire other rural women and girls to take up computer classes and connect to the varying opportunities found on the internet. We have the pilot project running in Zangtembeng village with support from a U.S. based partner.
