Rural libraries to go hi-tech thanks to Gates Foundation

The two partners are implementing a project now known as Sesigo that is aimed at enabling free computer and Internet access to all citizens even those in the rural areas.

Project director, Sebusang Sebusang, said their intention is to ensure that they reach all the corners of the country. "We want Batswana across the country to have access to the Internet. Every place where there is a library, people should be able to access the Internet. We are also trying our best to ensure that people get an understanding of how the project works," he said.
