Rwanda: an AI platform for small holder farmers
Theofrida Muginga, a student from the University of Rwanda, is developing 'Mkulima GPT,' a ChatGPT-driven Swahili chatbot designed to support smallholder farmers by diagnosing crop diseases and offering culturally-sensitive agricultural advice. The project, which integrates AI and IoT, aims to bridge the technology gap for farmers with limited resources. 'Mkulima GPT' is notable for its focus on local languages and plans to expand to more African languages. It is currently in testing, with a launch planned for December, and seeks to incorporate feedback from users and experts to enhance its functionality.
Congolese in Rwanda share their experiences as tensions between the two countries remain high
As efforts to restore peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continue, tensions with Rwanda remain high, with the Congolese government accusing Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels. Congolese refugees in Rwanda share mixed experiences, with some thriving in business while others face significant challenges. Kenyan forces have been deployed to create a buffer zone in the DRC, aiming to halt the fighting. The article highlights the complex historical and political roots of the conflict, emphasizing the need for addressing these underlying issues to achieve lasting peace.
Small-scale farmers take over Rwanda’s biggest tea factory
Smallholder farmers in Gicumbi district, Rwanda, have become the new owners of the Mulindi factory, one of the country's largest tea suppliers. The factory was handed over by The Wood and The Gatsby Foundations, both British organizations that have supported the farmers since 2012 with finances, technology, and management. The farmers, who produce between 60 to 80 tonnes of green tea per day, expect to see increased profits following the handover. Challenges such as the risk of flooding and aging tea plants remain, but the ownership change is seen as a significant step towards empowering the local farming community.
A technology made in Rwanda serving the community
Kwaanda Labs, founded by Israel Nishimwe and James Ndekezi in 2018, aims to address social issues in Rwanda through innovative technology. The company specializes in wireless electricity for electronic devices, reducing the need for imported technology. Their products, including wireless chargers, transmitters, and receivers, are affordable and have gained popularity in Kigali. The founders encourage young people to engage in technology to solve societal problems.
