UgaBYTES, telecenter network support in Uganda

From the UgaBYTES site:

UgaBYTES Initiative is a nonprofit telecenter network organization that seeks to promote and nurture the effective use and integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for sustainable rural development in East Africa. As a catalytic organization, UgaBYTES focus is towards rural and disadvantaged community groups through the provision of quality support services and mentoring.

Telecenters are the non-profit version of cybercafes - somewhere on the net I'm sure there's a global map of where they are and cost per hour in local terms for services. The world travelers I know depend on them; staffing and supporting them in far-flung parts of the global is a challenge.
