In this episode you will get to know the Amadiba Community Network, a project that has been strengthening the community's fight to defend their land, the coast of their country and their people, through access to the internet. Guiding us on this journey is Lungelo Mtwa, from Pondoland, a region on the coast of South Africa bathed by the Indian Ocean. Also in this episode, we interviewed Mike Jensen, an internet pioneer working at the Association for Progressive Communications (APC). We’ll talk about ideas for thinking about connectivity and community networks.

“Routing for Communities” is a twelve-episode podcast. Here you are going to listen to life stories of those who build innovative and bold community-led projects to connect the third of humankind that is still living offline.
