Project IntanetBringing local inclusion to the webBackgroundA great number of people especially farmers lack information about techniques and methods that are guaranteed to boost their productivity and incomeThe ProblemA lot of people do not know how to access or what they can learn from the InternetEnglish is difficult to learn for a lot of people who are largely excluded from accessing the world wide webThere are a lot of important information and research on the web that can improve lives of people in rural areas but hardly ever get to them.The ideaCreate a platform which:helps people to learn how to read and write in their local languagesencourages people who dont know English to use the webprovides support in various ways to farmersdraws attention of elite people to collaborate in local contentCrowd-sourced language learningHelping people to read and write in their local languageLearning to read/writeA lot of individuals can speak their first languages very fluently but have little idea how to read/write them. Our goal:Engage people in a fun and interactive way to share pictures and texts that can help learn how to learn their languagesOrganize these content in such a way that anyone can easily use them to learn local languages

Localized Site RequestsEncouraging people who dont know English to use the webLocalized Site RequestsA lot of websites which contain important information are not accessible to non-English readers. Our goal:Provide translated versions of these websites with the help of Google Translate and community contributionsProvide a voting system by which we can select the sites for translation based on the number of pages and community votes

Farmer SupportProviding education and business support for farmersFarmer SupportA lot of farmers lack considerably large amount of information and support which can help boost their productivity and income. Our goal:Provide a platform where they can set up a profile and connect with merchants, supporters, investors, and buyers.Provide localized versions of these information and researches which can help them boost their productivity and incomeCreating AwarenessBringing everyone to engage on the platformCreating AwarenessThere is need to make the platform sustainable and we believe the farmer platform has the potential to become popular since people will be able to buy much more for less.
