I was challenged by Riyaz and Sokari to come up with a list of “Web 2.0″ sites for Africa and make a collage. I chose to define that term rather loosely, so if the line is blurred it’s entirely my fault.
I’m sure I missed some, so leave a comment with the link if I did. I’ll add it in the next iteration.
You can see the larger sizes of this image on Flickr, where each logo has the link to the webite.

So here is a website in progress to introduce web 2.0 to the village and cybers as an easy to use platform. http://www.voicesofafrica.org. We are in need of more techies to help. I am one of the directors and I have a degree in sustainable economic development with a master’s in public health and the other is a farmer/ agriculture student at Moi. We are in need of folks with tech skills to bring the best of the web into our telecentres which will be located in rural villages using solar power. Our focus is on rural sustainable development and income generation. And of course, I love to teach about health. There are so many resources online. It is like opening the people up to the biggest library in the world.
Well, I am highly impressed by the site and the work you are doing. I would like to see if possibily I could get in contact with some members for support, help with web design and general guidance. I feel like our groups have two pieces of the same puzzle.
Asante sana.
