Mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, digital cameras – we use them every day and some of us can barely stand to part with them for more than a few hours. So, when you stop and think about the millions of people without access to them, you may want to second guess throwing out last year’s mobile phone.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) allow access to rural healthcare, agriculture and education, as well as improving the lives of people in rural communities through easy monitoring and reporting. In the UK, organisations like Inveneo need support to provide affordable and sustainable ICTs to those who need it most. Visit their website at http://www.inveneo.org/ to find out how you can help.
