Organic Health Response/Inveneo: Using the Net to Fight AIDS in Kenya

Craig Newmark | SFGate | January 31, 2011

The folks at Organic Health Response are doing really good stuff, using IT and environmental sustainability on Mfangano Island in Western Kenya to work against HIV/AIDS across Lake Victoria.

They're working with Inveneo, their deal is to get IT, such as computers, telephony, and Internet access to those who need it most - people and organizations in rural and highly underserved communities of the developing world.

We're working with OHR and also Inveneo efforts in Haiti and the West Bank to learn how to better connect people across the world. They provide sustainable tech, including good bandwidth, to people  who really need it. They're handling the practical problems of getting network towers up, negotiating with local government.
