Routing For Communities

In our first episode, we will discover an inspiring experience from South Africa: the Mamaila Community Network, which is connecting a rural area that had been ignored by major communications providers, while building digital skills.
 

Come with us on a journey to meet the “Wiki Katat”, the first indigenous virtual operator providing internet and mobile phone services in Mexico.

In this episode you will get to know the Amadiba Community Network, a project that has been strengthening the community's fight to defend their land, the coast of their country and their people, through access to the internet.

Hoy viajaremos a una zona rural de Córdoba, en Argentina, donde conoceremos la red comunitaria Quintana Libre. En los últimos años, Argentina comenzó a desarrollar programas estatales para garantizar el acceso a internet, incrimentando considerablemente el número de redes comunitarias en el país.

In this episode, we share a story from Brazil. We talked to Daiane Araújo, who works on community networks projects and reflects on their intersection with gender, race and class. We also talked to Luísa Bagope, one of the creators of the project “Nodes that Bond”, which focuses on gender and feminist issues. 

In our eighth episode, we travel to the African continent once again! In Nigeria, we meet Harira Wakili and CITAD to learn more about their work on community networks. We also hear from Josephine Miliza about the importance of women in building enabling policy and regulation.

For this season’s 10th episode, you will get to know more about another story from Latin America. We’re talking about an experience in the countryside of Colombia, in an Indigenous community, where the Jxa'h Wejxia Casil Community Network is operating.
