Recommendations for best local apps/services to improve lives?
Hi all When we build new mobile sites for our customers in rural areas we find a lack of awareness of local apps/services that would be useful for them to use. We're currently looking around at various apps/services related to health, agriculture, employment, education etc... I'd appreciate any recommendations... we'll hopefully be able to promote them to rural citizens. The more localized the better (i.e. even better if in Swahili or other dialects) and if there's the use of video/audio even better (in case of literacy challenges). Thanks Adam

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I think this should be an exciting call for local app and content developers.
