Some sample projects:

Special Interest Portal for Professional Women in Science, Computing and Engineering Disciplines, Malawi (Chaulere MALENGA)
In Malawi like other Southern African countries women and girls have limited perspectives when they make their choice of career. Consequently their participation in areas such as mathematics, science, computing and engineering remains very low. The objective of this project is to create a women role?model information portal based on successes in computing, science, mathematics and engineering in order to motivate young women to enter scientific and computing disciplines which are traditionally men-dominated areas. The portal will provide for high quality web based content, news, mailing lists and discussion forums.
African Escape – Website, Namibia (Foibe KALIPI & Lionel THOBIAS)
