Fantsuam Foundations community Wireless internet network access project called ZittNet

  • Country
  • Nigeria
  • Brief description
  • "Nigeria’s rural communities comprise over 70% of the population of 140 Million, the country ranks 152 in the World Poverty index (Human Development Reports, 2003, UNDP. 2003), with rural poverty higher than urban poverty, and it is estimated that half of all rural women are living below the poverty line", Internet access is not available in rural Nigeria because it is expensive and there is high level of illiteracy therefore the target clients do not make for a viable market and its economic potentials for poverty reduction are neglected, Fantsuam Foundation is the 1st rural internet and telephony service provider in the country, with integrated programs in health, micro-finance, ICT and education to combat poverty and disadvantage, ZittNet is a wireless internet service provider serving clients in the Kafanchan area of northern Nigeria and is being specifically targeted towards other non-profit and community development related organizations, ZittNet is located in Bayan Loco, a peri-urban slum of Kafanchan, a major development challenge faced by its residents is the reduction of poverty but the

    Inadequacy of jobs, ICT and income infrastructure contributes to the poor health sector, the first rural wireless internet network service in Nigeria, it aims to provide affordable internet and rural telephony access to a rural population of 150,000 annually, this will enhance youth employability through ICT skills training, downstream self employment opportunities and make it possible for rural clinics to have access to Telemedicine facilities and e-learning opportunities and help in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, this service includes the installation and sale or rental of the necessary equipment as well as bandwidth vouchers enabling clients access to the internet, Web design, Hosting, Management and Training, Networking, Software Development, Hardware Maintenance, sales of Networking Devices and Wireless Training, the service is offered on a cost-recovery basis, not as a commercial as a commercial venture, ZittNet therefore provides a model of civil society’s active role in complementing the Nigerian Communications Commission and Federal Government’s efforts at providing internet access to remote and rural communities of Nigeria, We believe that where there is value arising from the community wireless service and that if our service is truly valuable to the community, they should reasonably pay for it, Thus ZittNet is based on a social Entrepreneurship model that uses microfinance to support our rural network service, we keep looking for innovative technical ways to get Internet access that is of reasonable quality and affordable, this has led us, because of inadequate power supply, to install a hybrid solar power backup system that makes the network run independently of national power supply for 24hours a day and 7days a week, the system can charge its battery bank from three different sources: from National Grid when electricity is Available and a diesel generator, but mainly from our Solar array, to power servers and workstations that will run the centres infrastructure and training classrooms, we have also a purpose built self cooling network operating centre (NOC) built with local materials in consideration of the climate which we operate. The NOC is designed with the roof slanting at a 20 degree angle to provide maximum exposure for the solar panels and the eastern part of the building is built with double compressed earth brick walls to keep the sun out with windows at the top and bottom of each wall to ensure that hot air escapes and cool air comes in keeping the room naturally cooled and saving power costs of air-conditioning, the question for us always is "What priority needs in our community can be most helped by our rural connectivity service".

Videotelling: A participatory community youth literacy project

  • Country
  • Nigeria
  • Brief description
  • The mass media, including newspapers, television and radio play an important function in imparting information on local, national and international issues. However, for many communities in the developing and post conflict countries (for example Nigeria), traditional forms of mass media are either rare or limited in their distribution.

    In addition, traditional forms of mass media are often not the choice of youth in both industrialized and developing countries. Youth worldwide are looking for new technologies as mediums of communication, information and leisure. As new technologies are becoming more portable, less expensive and less complicated, youth are not listening and viewing media, they are also producing it. Indeed, the new technologies are the means by which to involve youth in developing print and non-print literacies.

    Most African communities mainly the rural and remote ones (Eluama Village) do not have access to appropriate information that is relevant to their needs. In instances where access exists, there is a problem of absence of relevant content in appropriate languages.
