1.1 Projects of eKhaya ICT

eKhaya ICT is currently involved in several exciting projects which are looking at ways to introduce Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) but primarily computers and internet into rural areas in a sustainable manner, i.e. in a manner that creates new jobs and empowers local people.

Selected projects:

• University of Fort Hare, Telkom Centre of Excellence for Developmental eCommerce.
• Zwelenqaba School Project.
• Several commercial projects, including Open Office.org development for open source custom office software.
• Please see our Products page for more information.
• Thozi's work page

We are busy creating a non-profit association (Village Scribe Association) in Europe to support the Zwelenqaba School Project. With this project we hope to fulfill the needs of the people living in regions that are impoverished, to help them get themselves out of the poverty trap they live in.

Following are the projects in this wiki:

1.2 Village Scribe Association / Dorfschreiber Verein

1.3 Project with the Upper Kat River Water Catchment Forum
