Digital Divide: Kiva in Uganda


"In this video, not only are they being taught to use the Kiva website, they are being taught to use a computer. Before they learn how to type in their email address as their username, they need to be taught what an email address IS. Before you teach them how to upload a picture, they will need to hold a camera for the very first time. The video illustrates the incredible distance we live from most people in rural Uganda. It also shows how such people are just a few short steps from being totally connected to this world. " (Kiva Chronicles)
