Help Support AfriGadget’s Young Mobile Reporters

The Grassroots Reporting Project puts smarter mobile phones into the hands of young Africans and has them report on
AfriGadget.

So far the right people have been identified for the project, but
AfriGadgett needs to raise $500 to make it happen.

A combination of mobile phones and computers will be assigned to individuals in 10 African countries for the purpose of getting more on-the-ground reporting of stories of African ingenuity to the world. An AfriGadget editor will be in charge of identifying the best candidates for inclusion in the program. This editor will also travel to each country to train and equip the new AfriGadget reporters for the program.

Chip in!
