Achievement
Bridging the digital divide
Drying the resources of illiteracy
Solving the conflict between the farmers, shepherd and forest.
Connected the unconnected (disabled, women, out of school, rural community, illiterate or low computer skill farmers)
Utilization of Telecentres to reduce the cost of education and improve its quality
ICT is not part of the culture and not a priority and there is a big digital gap (divide)
Poverty,, financial support and high cost of e-infrastructure
children are supposed to bring the water in the morning from the river or wells and go with their animals in the morning so no students in the class
