#43I don't know where you are thinking about implementing your"solution". There are a lot of people trying to solve the problem you are solving, even governments have. I am writing from Ghana and the government has tried two times and failed. Two questions you need to address: 1. does your solution really align with the people's need ? 2. Is it sustainable? After you have found interest, you ask if the people are also interested in managing the program, after you are gone. Is there the required infrastructure to support. I am in development work and this is really core to making impactful change, I was going to say lasting change but I took it back. There are other level of questions but please answer the two questions above before you even move ahead with your idea otherwise it's a waste of resources.

Hi sammidelali, thank you for your interest. There's no 'our solution' in in the exact meaning of word, the hardware is a way for access to internet. Our goal is to provide (via internet or computer technologies) a lot of inaccessible software tools in a fun/animated way and that's may be achieved using computer, tablets, Tv with usb disk ..
This project was propsed 4 five years ago and i started by talking to education responsables who thought that's 'unmanaged and hard to set up'. The idea is simple, we believe that every child 'should' access to learning ressources in a virtual way regardless his location. For the sustainablity part, i think that the average age of a large numbers of electronics is limited, and may be recycled after that. We are talking about a game like tool.
