This is very much what I have in mind for VillageTalk.
The Virtual VillagePump is business model that can be copied by any rural community in Africa. It shows how the traditional development approach can be made more effective by re-arranging actions, reshuffling available resources and re-defining the main goals of the initiator of a project.
Our approach increases local commitment, shows alternative routes towards the goal and identifies ways to reduce the need for hard to get external capital if there are insufficient guarantees. # Visit our Demo village, Bunabumali, in Eastern Uganda.

Untill now I have been lucky to be able to spend so much time on-line thanks to Makarere university. One of the biggest issues that has kept me busy all this time is how we can get connect Bunabumali to the Internet at an affordable manner, so I can go back to coordinate all our efforts on the ground.
This resulted into the Bunabumali VillagePump initiative, which is a realy simple alternative to the traditional often unsustainable / cybercafe approach taken by many African communities.

Since I started Virtual Bunabumali, a lot has changed. Untill a year ago nobody had ever heard about us. Today we have our own Bunabumali chronicle, international visitors visiting Buna, thousands of digital images, video and a network of hundreds of international friends on facebook and twitter.
More important we have connected to African colleagues and friends at a level where we share our individual experience, knowledge and contacts in order to solve complicated issues based on our own capacity.
