We are excited to announce a brand-new set of training videos designed to support community-based organizations, NGOs, and local leaders in Africa. These short, practical tutorials explain how to use microSD cards as powerful tools for bringing vital knowledge to the last mile.
For many women and families in rural communities, access to the internet is limited, and written materials are not an option. MicroSD cards offer a simple, affordable solution: they work offline, fit into almost every basic phone and smartphone used in Africa, and can store thousands of hours of spoken information.
In this new video series, available in English, French, and Swahili, we cover:
-
Why microSD cards are ideal for community learning
-
Different ways to use them with phones and loudspeakers
-
Step-by-step guidance on inserting and setting up a microSD card in a basic phone
-
Where to find and download free Audiopedia content
-
Best practices for sharing cards and maximizing impact in communities
All five videos are available as YouTube playlists in each language:
We invite NGOs, educators, health workers, and community leaders to make use of these resources. Whether you are distributing cards in a women’s self-help group, a health clinic, or a rural school, these videos will help you get started quickly and confidently.
This initiative is part of SD4Africa, our program to repurpose unused microSD cards into lifelines of knowledge for women at the last mile. Together, we can turn forgotten technology into education, empowerment, and opportunity.
You can also access the English version of the videos including additional resources on the atingi platform.
👉 Explore the playlists today and share them with your networks - a small card can make a big impact.
