Zimbabwe: Giving the Tshwao a Voice

  March 21, 2014

The Tshwao people of Zimbabwe, numbering about 2500 people, currently living lives of poverty in the outer edges of western Zimbabwe in Tsholotsho and Plumtree are slowly rising up and claiming their space in development issues. After being moved from the then Wankie Game Reserve in 1928 (Now Hwange National Park) during the colonial era, have remained unnoticed and thus are living as subjects to other tribes. The project seeks to tell the Tshwao story through photo books story telling, video and through social network. The aim is to connect with others to share ideas, skills and expirience

Bosnia Herzegovina: Learn English/Bosnian

  March 21, 2014

I've recently spoken to several foreigners who would be thrilled to learn Bosnian before or during their stay in our country. Unfortunately, they said they couldn't find a single online course for learning Bosnian. Likewise, a lot of my friends would like to learn English, and there are plenty of courses online, but none of them which is in Bosnian and English. Usually, these are only monolingual (English). I would like to develop and create an online course for learning Bosnian and English. Easy online material and lessons available for all groups and age.

Cameroon: Websites for Schools

  March 21, 2014

This project aims to create websites for schools in Cameroon, train teachers on how to update the website and also how to use social media in schools. We hope that by the end of the project, 500 primary and secondary schools in Cameroon have websites and are able to use social media to sell the schools mission. This project would therefore facilitate communication with schools, train teachers on how to update the school's website and also how to use social media in schools.
