Vanuatu Grass Roots Go High Tech

by Mathew Temar last modified 2005-12-16 05:27 PM

A small community-based project promises to change the way we deal with technology in Vanuatu. Freswota CRC uses old computers donated by an Australian church group. It combines this hardware with Ubuntu Linux, software specially designed for education in developing countries.

The Freswota CRC is unique in Vanuatu, as it is designed to provide computing and Internet services directly to community members in a location close to their homes. Located outside of the commercial center of Port Vila, it is much more accessible than some other commercial services. Likewise its price levels are designed to be affordable to the average working class ni-Vanuatu.
