Solartechnikerinnen bringen Licht in die entlegenen Dörfer Sansibars

Von Kizito Makoye

KENDWA, Tansania (IDN) – Nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit beenden Natasha Mahmood und ihr Bruder im spärlichen Schein einer Petroleumlampe ihre Hausaufgaben. Bald wird die Mutter die Flamme löschen, um Petroleum einzusparen.

“Ich gebe mir Mühe, früher fertig zu werden, doch das klappt nicht immer”, berichtet Mahmood, während ein aus der Lampe aufsteigender Rauchfaden in einem rußgeschwärzten Kamin abzieht. “Es kommt vor, dass mir meine Lehrerin eine Strafe aufbrummt, weil ich meine Hausaufgaben nicht geschafft habe.”…

UN Study Urges a More Gender-Equal Digital Space

Flays Feminization of Voice Assistants

By Rita Joshi

BERLIN | PARIS (IDN) – “I think if we wake up 20 years from now and we see the lack of diversity in our tech and leaders and practitioners [that we see today], that would be my doomsday scenario,” said Li Fei-Fei, co-director of Stanford University’s Human-Centered AI Institute and one of the few female leaders in the field of Artificial Intelligence, during testimony to the U.S. Congress.

Sounding alarm about the dearth of diversity in AI development, she added: “There’s nothing artificial about AI. It’s inspired by people, and – most importantly – it impacts people. . . . [The deep learning systems that undergird AI are] bias in, bias out.”…

Wahandisi wa Nishati ya Jua wa Kike Wanatoa Mwangaza katika Vijiji vya Mbali kule Zanzibar

Na Kizito Makoye

KENDWA, Tanzania (IDN) – Giza linapoingia, Natasha Mahmood na kaka yake hupiga gumzo karibu na mwali wa taa ya mafuta taa, wakiharakisha kumaliza kazi yao ya ziada kabla mama yao aizime taa ili kuhifadhi mafuta.

“Mimi mara nyingi hujaribu kuikamilisha mapema. Lakini hilo sio suala wakati wote. Mwalimu wangu wakati mwingine huniadhibu kwa ajili ya kushindwa kukamilisha kazi yangu,” anasema Mahmood, moshi kutoka kwenye taa unapofuka ndani ya paa la mabati lililochafuliwa na masizi yanayotokana na moshi.…

Female Solar Engineers Light Up Remote Villages in Zanzibar

By Kizito Makoye

KENDWA, Tanzania (IDN) – As darkness falls, Natasha Mahmood and her brother huddle around the weak flame of a paraffin lamp, rushing to finish their homework before their mother blows it out to save fuel.

“I often try to get it done early. But that’s not always the case. My teacher sometimes punishes me for failing to complete my work,” says Mahmood, as a trail of smoke from the lamp rises into a corrugated roof smirched with soot. (P08) GERMAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | SWAHILI

Volunteering Kicks Up a Notch in Kenya

By J W Jackie

RENO, Nevada, USA (IDN) – One of the biggest cross-nation collaborations currently, is between the European Union and Kenya. This unusual pairing provides Kenya with the resources to implement development strategies with a Sh8 billion line of credit (USD 78.922.800,00) from the European Investment Bank (EIB).

While the loan is earmarked for the private sector to improve development, there is a definite need for support in all areas to make these funds go even further. One of the biggest cost items for any development project is labour. While paid labour will still be a component, a large form of relief is through skilled volunteers.…

ブハラ市は、アジアとアラブ世界や欧州を繋ぐシルクロードにおいて、交易上の要衝であった。ウズベキスタン政府が２０１６年に外国人観光客に対する規制を撤廃し、シルクロードに対する世界的な関心が高まる中、２０００年の歴史を持つブハラは中央アジアの主要な観光地を目指す方針だ。

ブハラは、ペルシアやインド、中国、ロシアから訪れる商人らによって栄え、１０世紀から１７世紀にかけてのシルクロード発展の中で人気の中継拠点となった。…
