AfriGadget

We just received some great news.

AfriGadget was included in Time Magazine’s list of 50 best sites for 2008.

This is quite an honor especially in light of the fact that AfriGadget is run entirely by volunteers. Good news though, our posting frequency should go up shortly as we have a team in the field sourcing stories right now.

As a primer to all things AfriGadget, here are links to our Flickr Group and Grassroots Reporting Project as well as a list of some of our favorite/most popular stories.

• AfriGadget Innovator Series: Simon Mwacharo of Craftskills
• The amazing story of William Kakwamba and his home made windmill. William later went on to tell his story at TED and has embarked on even more ambitious projects that you can read about on his blog
• The Made-from-scratch model airplanes of Phillip Isohe
• The knife-sharpening bicycle

thanks,
The AfriGadget Team.
