awesome Rwanda

Rwanda goes global
Kigali the capital city of Rwanda with approximately 1milion people who dwell as of 2012 reports, is located at  the centre of entire country surrounded by ridges  and valley with an utmost view is built on one among four main ridges.
Regardless being hilly town huge buildings of most hotels and headquarters of different organizations and government offices are located. A well arranged and constructed infrastructure on those landscapes can be easily seen and became other tourist attractions.
The valleys and ridges also portray country economical power of its people, the poor lives in valley side and their counterparts rich at hill side. Despite social differences of being poor or rich the government policy on bringing Rwandan together is so practical referred to “SMART KIGALI” and “One laptop per Child” projects.
“One Laptop Per Child” President Paul Kagame initiatives toward eliminating Poverty by providing more chances to child school enrollment across the country. So far, the project has seen about 200,000 laptops distributed to more than 400 schools.
Going further, Rwandan government signed a $140 million deal with South Korea’s largest Telecom – Korea Telecom (KT) Corp in June, 2013 to provide 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) Broadband networks across the country especially in areas where internet connectivity is low. The deal is considered to be one of the biggest FDI deal ever embarked on by the East African nation.
On launching the “Smart Kigali” project, the Rwanda in partnership with the City of Kigali (the country’s capital), internet service providers, Rwanda Hotel and Restaurants Association as well as other government agencies announced last month that there will be free wireless internet in Kigali.
This was the first step in a strategy which aims to provide Wi-Fi coverage to all schools and public buildings and buses, hospitals, commercial buildings, taxi-parks and restaurants.
Rwanda hopes that the initiative – a public-private partnership – will significantly contribute towards delivering better services to people via the internet.
According to Alex Ntale, the Director of the Rwanda’s information and communications technology chamber, “Smart Kigali really is a test, it is giving people a taste of better things to come.”
