Through this initiative, African youth were able to share photos
and videos depicting the
effects of climate change on their
respective communities.
The M-PESA Mobile Payment system enabled Kenyans both rich
and poor to participate in this campaign to assist their fellow
countrymen, affected by the famine.
During the 2012 Villages in Action conference in Uganda, 10 village
girls were able to share their views about their community, in a global tweetchat that reached 1.5 million
people.
