Bringing computer access to rural locations in Tanzania has its challenges. Sourcing equipment, a power supply and getting a 3G mobile internet signal are just some of the problems that need to be overcome. Add to that the lack of local experience in dealing with computers and you could be forgiven for thinking that it is not possible.  Busega Scotland is committed to raising the educational attainment of children at the Mayega Orphanage and the Moving- On Project. This is crucial in improving their life chances. With limited educational resources and a lack of teachers, online learning may be a way forward. We have to try!

Mark Dunscombe likes a challenge!

He is based in Spey Bay, Moray and has offered crucial support in an amazingly generous and practical way. MJD Systems, run by Mark and his wife, Jill, are refurbishing laptops for Tanzania, received from business contacts. His company will  provide remote assistance to deal with the inevitable computer glitches we will encounter along the way. Mark has also advised us on powering laptops from car batteries etc. and provided equipment to help us do that.

The MJD example is perfect in illustrating what can be achieved by Busega Scotland working with businesses and organisations. It was only by chatting with Mark that we realised what could be done and we would be delighted to talk to others – even if it’s not clear what is possible! Let’s talk and discover together!

Mark and Jill are truly Friends of Busega Scotland.
