This is equal to the annual GNP in many countries Another negative effect of this, is that it can serve only a very limited audience. As you may have gathered, currently availability of information in some countries is very difficult.
Most public libraries are non-existent or contain very old and out dated material.
Books and manuals if found in the local book shops are very expensive and out of reach of the very people that need the information. There is also a problem of illiteracy and language. But all these are surmountable problems with existing technology, a little imagination, some money and goodwill from volunteers. Our initial area of operation is the E.African region and surrounding countries. By the 10th year of operation we hope to have expanded and covered most of Sub-Saharan Africa.
