Initiatives such as Girl Effect and Africa's Voices provide new content channels for the poorest people in developing countries to gain a visible online identity. How could you minimise the educational and financial obstacles to their visibility in the global media ecosystem? SMS hubs, or Raspberry Pi with cameras? Are keyboards, screens or batteries actually essential? You'll need to consider the whole system: network infrastructure, content propagation if servers aren't powered up 24/7, literacy and appropriate interaction mechanisms for those whose technical expertise may be limited, but who will be empowered by gaining new skills.
