Photos: How old PCs are creating opportunities

Another effort of CFSK is to turn old monitors into fully working television sets, which can be sold for a fraction of the cost of a new or even second-hand set.

Getting televisions into more homes is another step in bridging digital, economic and particularly social divides. Kenya is still a fairly fragmented country, where basic infrastructure such as roads is poor. Away from the capital, ignorance about issues such as Aids is also hugely problematic. TV will enable greater countrywide education and social cohesion.

These TVs even come with a fully working remote control thanks to CFSK's engineers, who are committed to reusing as much supposedly defunct IT equipment as possible.
