About Me (biography and organization description)
I am a researcher at Shinyalu Community Telecentre situated in Shinyalu Division, Kakamega District,of Western Province in Kenya. The Centre was started with an aim of searching, acquiring, creating knowledge/ information, repackaging and disseminating it to the smallholder population. this was with the fact they felt marginalized economically, socially, financially and that media like internet, Fm Radio, TV broadcasts were specifically meant for the elites in urban centres.
So far, all the appropriate media have been set and are already up and running save for FM radio which is just awaiting frequency from the Communication Commision of Kenya and it is hinted to be in the final stages.We have managed to launch a Newsletter for the centre known as "ukulima" (farming) which keeps the readers abreast with farming information.
Much more is on the ground and we will share including radio scripts.
Areas of interest/expertise and types of services provided:
These are local champions from different countries, who, regardless of their educational status and personal circumstances, have dared to do something different to empower themselves, their organizations, and the communities around them.
It is interesting to learn how to make computer learning accessible to the poor especially those who only had a few years of primary education and are adults, especially the women.
A location managed by Ugabytes and supported by telecentre.org, where members can ask questions or provide responses to telecentre management, content & service development, training, technical, fundraising or evaluation issues.
Also, we might want to say that the position is based in Delhi (preferably)... if we fail to find a candidate from Delhi, we might look for one in Manila.
