Following our participation in Computer Aid's cycle challenge in Kenya, ZDNet UK took some time to check out other projects being run by the organisation, which takes old PCs from businesses and refurbishes them for use in the developing world.

One organisation that Computer Aid is currently partnering with is the Kenyan Union of the Blind (KUB). Executive officer Martin Kieti, himself partially sighted, explained the challenges faced by blind children and students in Kenya and how IT can provide much-needed access to information.
