For such a tiny village, Nyangwete has big challenges. On the shores of Lake Victoria, below the Homa Hills, the remote fishing village was isolated by location and lack of power. Extreme poverty forced more than 12,000 children into the care of the state because parents could not provide for them.
Nyangwete suffers from one of the highest infection rates of HIV/AIDs in Kenya.
Village Chief Alloyse Ongere knew that his people were resourceful, but they lacked basic resources and information to succeed. By connecting the village to the world, he believed that residents would be able to lead healthier, more productive lives. When he became Chief in 2002, he began work on a community center. He envisioned a hub where people of all ages and social backgrounds could learn about technology, business, healthcare, the country and the world. “If you create a good thing,” he said, “people will come to use it and make it better.”
In the Honourable James Rege, Member of Parliament of Karachuonyo Constituency, Alloyse found a champion who has brought resources and global partners like Cisco to Nyangwete to nurture capacity for transformation within the community.
Connected to the Outside
A recently completed road cut travel time to the nearest village from 4 hours to just 1.5, but more importantly, Rege introduced Nyangwete to Cisco. The center became part of a network of 10 Community Knowledge Centers (CKC) in Kenya as part of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The public private partnership funds and supports the CKCs to bring power, connectivity, and training to underserved communities. Through a four-year, $10 million donation by Cisco, the CGI has created a model for CKCs across Africa.
These are the new digital villages of rural Kenya.
“People are hungry for knowledge and information,” said Hital Muraj, the Cisco Corporate Affairs Manager for East Africa who lives in Nairobi. “It is through training programs that people get access to marketable skills that help them build their economies and create jobs for themselves and others living in their villages.”
One Global Economy trains young people (aged 15 to 21) in technology leadership, marketing and digital media to help their communities become more technologically literate. They are supported by a “Beehive,” community-based website, tailored to the local language and information needs. Inveneo provides solar power to centers without access to power and AppleSeeds Academy trains local community members how to run the CKC’s as a social business. In addition to seed funding, Cisco provides Cisco Networking Academy curriculum for IT Essentials. Orange provides wireless connectivity.
An Anchor for New Opportunity
The CKC has become a gathering place for all ages and social groups and the anchor of a growing business community. A pharmacy, an mPesa (mobile bank site), a barber shop, a restaurant and other businesses have popped up around the CKC. Many of them founded by people who took classes at the CKC. The national bank is considering opening a branch at the CKC to provide more access to financial services.
According to the Chief, local farmers learned about seed bulking (producing seeds for other farmers) through the center. The new market for their harvest has increased income into the village by 34 million Kenya shilling. “They have a group and use the Internet to communicate with seed buyers,” said the Chief. “With the increased income, farmers can now send their children to school, open businesses, and make other investments.”
Every day from 4 to 6 pm, a market forms where women sell fish, vegetables, and other goods. Judith Yucabetotieno, a former primary school teacher who sells sorghum, maize, millet and fish, took the basic information communications technology (ICT) skills class. Now, she emails and Skypes with her children and grandchildren who have moved away from the village. Using the Internet, awakened her to opportunity. “I came to realize that some places are better than Kenya,” she said, “like South Africa, Switzerland, and America, in terms of business.” She was inspired to develop her fishing business and fix her boat.
Training Leads to Productivity
When Dave Ojijo studied technology in school, his teachers were limited to teaching ICT theories. They lacked enough computers and power for students to put their lessons into practice. It is hard to imagine the difference between learning about the Internet and actually using Google.
In 2009, Nyangwete CKC began offering courses in ICT, entrepreneurship, and language skills with hands-on access to computers. First, villagers learned about technology, then they began to use it to improve their lives. Even the Chief attended the IT Essentials class to better understand how he could use ICT.
Before the CKC, many government services required a trip to Nairobi. Internet access eliminates the need for the journey. “When a customer comes to me and wants his birth certificate forms, or a bursary form for scholarships, we can download it all here,” said Chief Ongere. “We can contact people directly by email and finding them on the Internet. It used to take 2 weeks to 1 month to communicate, now it’s much faster.” By charging a small fee for printing, photocopying, phone charging, and other services, the CKC expects to become fully sustainable by 2013.
Since Dave graduated from high school, he has attended classes at the CKC to prepare for pre-med studies at the University of Nairobi in fall 2012. He uses his ICT training and the CKCs connectivity to prepare for his studies by researching topics of interest to him. He hopes to become a neurosurgeon because there are so few in Kenya. Dave expects to be well ahead of his classmates when they begin.
Connected to the World
The success of the CKCs throughout Kenya have inspired the Honorable Rege to extend the program to secondary and then primary schools in his district. He plans to hire young people who have trained in the CKCs to connect computer labs and help teach classes.
Soon power and broadband network access will come to the shores of Lake Victoria and villagers are eager to have faster, more reliable access to the resources they have come to rely on. The center hopes to show soccer matches and other sports and become a branch for the local bank. “We want to open a campus for higher education learning in ICT,” said the chief. “We want more people to get information. This center will improve. The CKC will lift up the economy for all people.”
The Chief is most proud of the dramatic impact the rising standard of living has had on the children of the village. The number of children who depend on the state has dropped from 12,000 to 6,000. As villagers prosper, more parents are able to care for their own children. And the future is brighter for all of Ngyangwete.
“I have seen a big change in the community since the center opened,” said David. “Everyone comes to the center—fishermen, a lot of old men, a lot of small kids. They are aggressive. They want to learn.”

The Gambia Federation of the Disable (GFD) in close collaboration with the Education Free for All Network (EFANET), on Thursday 13 October 2016 held a consultative meeting with key stakeholders to get a feedback from them in finalising the National Disability drafted bill and review the Disability policy.
This meeting was attended by Disabled People Organisations (DPOs), Representatives from the Department of Social Welfare, Ministry of Justice, National Assembly members, TANGO, Youth led Institutions, among other institutions, NGOs and the Media.
The meeting also witnessed the review of the GFD advocacy plan and inputs on the plan by the key stakeholders who were present.
According to Ebrima Dibbassey, GFD executive Director, the meeting is a feedback from key stakeholders on the National Disability Bill and Disability policy.
“We have drafted a bill in consultation with the Department of Social Welfare under the Ministry of health, Ministry of Justice and also with some stakeholders, so we are given the chance to consult disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) which form the Federation, to give chance to them to have the final touches on the bill and policy,” Mr Dibbasey said.
He noted that this meeting is very crucial, because it creates a platform for people who are directly affected to scrutinise it thoroughly and add their inputs to feel the gaps.
“So therefore we are anticipating before 3rd December which is World Disability Day for the bill to be enacted by the National Assembly Members to be part of the Laws of the Land,” he argued.
Mr. Dibassey further noted that there will be a follow-up workshop on the 18th -19th October 2016, at Ocean Bay through the Ministry of health, Social welfare, Ministry of Justice, GFD, and he noted that this follow-up workshop is funded by Un High Commissioner for Human rights based in Dakar. Talking on the impact of the law if enacted Mr. Dibbassey noted that, the bill when enacted will enhance the lives and livelihood of people with disability in all facets of live, such as education, access to public services, amongst many other things.
Lamin Dibba Secretary General of GFD, and member of the steering Committee on advocacy on the Disability bill, said the response at the meeting was very positive because of active participation of the participants.
He further stressed that the bill will help a lot because it contains almost all the components addressing the plight of persons with disabilities.
“A lot of things are embedded in the bill, such as access to education, access to positive livelihood, public services among many other things, so when we have this bill as an Act, it will definitely go a long way in enhancing lives and livelihood of persons with disabilities, because it will serve as a guarding tool to help disable people to get what they are entitled to,” he remarked.
In his statement on behalf of the National Coordinator, Mr. Siyat Gaye, Farimang Phatey Programme Officer said, “I would just like to remind each and every one that EFANet is taking a cue from section 30 of the constitution of the Gambia and has been advocating for the right of everyone to quality education since its inception. This includes persons with disabilities, at EFANet, we are of the belief that education is a tool that empowers people to determine their destiny”.
He said it is in recognition of this that they dedicated a component of their civil society education Fund Project (2016-2018) to disability issues.
Mr. Phatey disclosed their two major activities are the Disability Bill and the celebration of the international Day for persons with Disabilities.
“Over the years, the GFD- has been leading the advocacy for a Disability Act. They have made tremendous efforts and progress but have also faced challenges in the course of their advocacy. However, with support from civil society and government institutions, they are able to push the matter this far,” he remarked.
“We are hopeful that with the continued support of the civil society and government institutions, we will soon have a Disability Act,” he assured.
He further assured EFANet support of the GFD, in achieving their goals.

Overview and authorship
Prometheus Bound tells the story of the punishment of the Titan Prometheus for giving fire to mankind, which is also familiar to us from two accounts by the archaic poet Hesiod. The play opens with the binding of Prometheus, and concludes with a cataclysm in which he is swallowed by the earth. The plot of the play is what Aristotle calls simple; there are no reversals of fortune.
The play was staged, like most Greek tragedies, using three speaking, masked, male actors plus the chorus of twelve or fifteen. One actor would have played Prometheus, while the other two would have appeared in different masks to play the roles of Power and Hephaestus, Oceanus, Io, and Hermes.
The play is …

■ Dominated by Emily Lubitz’s stunning vocals, Love Is A Dog generally takes a reflective tone. A morning–after stocktake repeatedly plays out across the LP’s 11 tracks, Lubitz’s composure depicting a well–measuring perspective, clarity coming after an assumed, initial outburst of emotion. A soothing assessment best displayed on album opener — and lead single — “Rich Man”, which recalls a sorrowful scene where privilege crumbles under the weight of loneliness. The haunting vocals aptly complimented by straining violin notes as the plainspoken tale weaves towards its inevitable tragedy.
■ Elsewhere, there’s a more ambiguous approach, as they frequently aim for deeper, more flexibly interpretable tales that showcase some of the band’s most confident songwriting to date, including flashes of betrayal (“Diary”), escapism (“Cabarita”, “Ordinary Lives”) and the illogical nature of love (“Light Across The Water”). Making for a strikingly assured album, the deep dives into heart–sleeved honesty equally matched by the cinematic stretches of detailed, string arrangements and brooding folk–pop features. ■ http://rollingstoneaus.com/

■ Love Is A Dog is a complex, luscious offering from this seasoned trio. Opulent string arrangements, intricate guitar hooks and unforgettable vocal melodies from lead vocalist Emily Lubitz all dictate the dark, rambling nature of the record.
■ The album was recorded by the trio with the in–studio help of Daniel Farrugia (Angus & Julia Stone, Missy Higgins) on drums and Jules Pascoe (Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Racketts) on bass guitar. The new LP was produced by the band in collaboration with Harry James Angus (The Cat Empire, Jackson Jackson) and mixed by the renowned Adam Selzer (M.Ward, She & Him, Jolie Holland) and recorded by Matthew Neighbour (Missy Higgins).
■ Four years ago Over the Sun (2012) saw the band win Triple J Unearthed with their catchy folk–pop single Barcelona. In 2013 Over the Sun was nominated for The Age Music Victoria Genre Award for Best Folk Roots Album. The band gained further mainstream attention after Emily’s voice was used on the famous Metro advertisement and one of the greatest viral sensations the world had seen, Dumb Ways to Die (2013).
■ Having shared the stage with Martha Wainright, The Cat Empire, The Waifs, Jen Cloher and Husky, as well as playing some of the world’s biggest music festivals nationally and abroad including WOMAD, Laneway Festival, Calgary Folk Festival and Winnipeg Folk Festival, Tinpan Orange’s music has grown them a fanbase that stretches across the globe.
