Abstract:
Elena Bogdanova – PhD (Kandidat Nauk) in Sociology, Research Fellow, Centre for Independent Social Research; Visiting Lecturer, University of Eastern Finland, European University at St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. Email: bogdanova.nova@gmail.com This article examines how Russian SOS Villages are undergoing foster reform, which prescribes a transition from institutional care for children deprived of parental care to family care model. The article analyses the problems and transformations experienced by SOS Villages, outlining the aims, instruments, and priorities of the reform. Empirically, the article is based on qualitative investigation of two Russian SOS Villages. Officially, SOS villages have the status of non-state children’s homes. However, they were originally conceptualised as a means to implement family care by specially arranged SOS families (headed by SOS mothers). Comparing the activities of SOS Villages with the theoretical concepts of development, resilience, and attachment shows that children raised in SOS Villages avoid the typical problems associated with institutional care. SOS families provide favourable conditions for socialisation, protection, overcoming of social isolation, while maintaining sustainable contact with a significant adult. The normative context created by Decree 481, which changed the status of children’s homes, alongside innovations in family policy and the general upsurge of traditionalist discourse, has made SOS Villages vulnerable. As a result, they are forced to protect both forms of their existence: institutional and family. Despite their conceptual adherence to the goals of the reform, in the eyes of the state the SOS Villages remain institutional entities targeted for closure or transformation into temporary residences for children. My research shows that under these new conditions SOS Villages have developed various strategies of involuntary mimicry. The most significant is the re-registration of SOS families as foster families. This helps keep children with their SOS families but significantly increases the level of responsibility and risks for SOS mothers. SOS Villages have also developed new activities, which may be useful in these new conditions. The establishment of consulting service platforms is one of these. The transformations taking place with the SOS Villages show that the reform is directed mainly, or solely, towards correcting the institutional level of the system. Due to multiple formal conflicts with newly emerging conditions, one of the most successful and experienced providers of family care for children without parental care has been left in a vulnerable position.

Abstract:
The Convention on the Rights of the Child, among numerous other documents, states that the best way for a child to grow up is in their biological family. Sadly, however, sometimes, in situations where parents are unable to provide the necessary care for their children, other adults take over, in this case, alternative care. Forms of alternative care include placing the child with relatives, in childcare homes, family-type children’s homes or foster families. The SOS Children’s Village Lekenik is one example of two active SOS villages in the Republic of Croatia. This paper focuses on the role of the SOS mom. The paper gives a brief overview of the selection and education of SOS moms, how an SOS family functions, and the workplace challenges and successes involved. As key elements in working with children in alternative care, emphasis is placed on love, patience and understanding of every child’s individual needs. Keywords: Alternative care, family, SOS mom, SOS village.

Abstract:
COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented human and health crisis and has been affecting lives in many forms. What seemed to be a health crisis eventually became a major ongoing global economic crisis. Sector-wide disruptions are threatening both short- and long-term livelihoods and well-being of millions of youth around the globe, especially youth from vulnerable communities. Business closures threatened the operations and soundness of the enterprises resulting in layoffs and wage losses, affecting a major chunk of youth including the young care leavers of alternative care programmes in Asia. This called for customised interventions and support for such young care leavers. Immediate actions were needed for managing their mental health, for maintaining education continuity and for reskilling of such young care leavers to prepare them to cope with the pandemic. This article is based on the learning and experiences of SOS Children’s Villages responses to supporting nearly 1,500 care leavers in various Asian countries. SOS Children’s Villages is committed to ensuring quality care and protection of children and youth through its various alternative care programmes in 15 countries in Asia region. SOS Children’s villages responded to COVID-19 pandemic by supporting youth and care leavers in SOS family-like care. Primarily, these countries reported that the school closures mandated to combat the spread of the virus affected the education and learning of all the children and youth in their care. All projects in Asia started reaching out to the care leavers and started extending a wide range of support to them with both short- and long-term interventions. This article covers SOS Children’s Villages youth programmes, especially from 11 countries of Asia region—Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.

Abstract:

The purpose of this project is to study the women involved in the SOS Children’s Villages; the influence of the association on their views on life, as seen from a human-rights and a religious perspective. Questions such as why they chose to work with the association and what it gives them to do so are treated in this study.

My goal has been to study and present different aspects of something so important, but yet so unfamiliar. The method used in this project is minor field studies, which means visiting the villages, living with the families and observing their daily lives. The means of acquiring the information necessary for this study is by qualitative interviews with the mothers.

A theoretical framework has been used as a complement to the study, and it is also used to bring greater understanding to the SOS mothers and how they have shaped their lives.

My ambition with this essay is to bring out their individual experiences on how they view their own lives at present and what meaning life has given them. I have used seven of the 14 interviews conducted.

The outcome shows that several factors play important roles as to why the mothers decided to work with the association. Such factors were socioeconomic and sociopsyhologic factors. Other conclusions that were drawn after this field trip were that the women are very vulnerable to the social situation in Lebanon. They need someone to support them since the men are the primary providers. If the women do not find someone to marry they need to find another source for provision and the SOS children’s Association is one way to go. The sense of Coherence that these women had was indeed strong, they felt meaningfulness in what they did, they had comprehended the situations at hand and could manage the situations as predictable, and they have the confidence to know that everything will work out in the best way possible.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário
Pretendeu-se investigar quais as capacidades e dificuldades de adolescentes retirados à sua família biológica e inseridos em aldeias SOS, bem como a sua satisfação com a vida e suporte social. Para este efeito, inquirimos 35 adolescentes (18 raparigas e 17 rapazes, com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 16 anos), suas mães sociais e directores de turma. Os instrumentos aplicados neste estudo foram o Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (Strehgths and Difficulties Questionnaire de Goodman 1997, 2001; Fleitlich, Loureiro, Fonseca e Gaspar, 2004), o Questionário de Suporte Social (Social Support Questionnaire - SSQ-R, Sarason, Sarason, Shearin, & Pierce, 1987; Moreira, Andrez, Moleiro, Silva, Aguiar, & Bernardes, 2002) e a Escala Multidimensional Satisfação com a Vida para Adolescentes (Segabinazi, Giacomoni, Dias, Teixeira & Moraes, 2010). Mães sociais e professores nem sempre apresentaram respostas concordantes, o que poderá ser justificado pela diversidade de comportamentos do adolescente em contextos diferentes. As respostas das mães e dos professores apontam para dificuldades, nalgumas dimensões do SDQ, nomeadamente problemas de comportamento (ambos os informantes), sintomas emocionais (Mães sociais) e problemas com colegas (Mães sociais); na escala de comportamento pró-social, regista-se uma avaliação maioritariamente positiva de ambos os informantes. Os jovens referem algumas pessoas na sua rede de suporte (entre 1 e 4), principalmente os amigos e a mãe (social), manifestando claramente a sua satisfação com este apoio disponível e com a vida, especialmente no domínio Amizade. Os resultados sugerem a importância do apoio e intervenção com crianças e adolescentes privados de cuidados parentais, no sentido de amenizar algumas das suas dificuldades.
ABSTRACT: It was intended to investigate what capabilities and difficulties of adolescents withdrawn its biological family and inserted into villages SOS, their satisfaction with life and social support. For this purpose, 35 adolescents (18 girls and 17 boys, aged between 14 and 16 years), their mothers and teachers, were inquired. The instruments used in this study were the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Goodman 1997, 2001; Fleitlich, Loureiro, Fonseca & Gaspar, 2004), the Social Support Questionnaire (Social Support Questionnaire - SSQ-R Sarason, Sarason, Shearin, & Pierce, 1987; Moreira, Andrez, Miller, Smith, Aguiar & Bernardes, 2002) and the Multidimensional Scale of Life Satisfaction for Adolescents (Segabinazi et al, 2010). Social mothers and teachers do not always show consistent responses, which may be explained by the diversity of adolescent behaviors in different contexts. The responses of mothers and teachers point to difficulties in some dimensions of the SDQ, including behavior problems (both informants), emotional symptoms (social mothers) and problems with peers (social mothers); in the scale of prosocial behavior, there is a mostly positive review of both informants. Adolescents refer some people in their support network (between 1 and 4), mainly friends and mother (social), clearly expressing its satisfaction with this support available and with life, especially in the field Friendship. The results suggest the importance of support and intervention with children and adolescents deprived of parental care, in order to alleviate some of their difficulties.

Abstract:
A partir du postulat que les comportements problématiques que manifestent certains adolescents ayant grandi dans les villages d’enfants SOS au Rwanda post-génocide constituaient le versant négatif de l’aboutissement du processus de construction du sentiment d’exister, l’objectif principal de cette recherche était la compréhension de ce processus. Ces comportements problématiques ne seraient pas nécessairement synonyme de son échec, mais seraient, surtout à l’adolescence, des tentatives de se faire exister, en lien avec différents éléments qu’il nous fallait découvrir.En appliquant une approche développementale et systémique de recherche et en raisonnant en termes de facteurs de protection et/ou de risque, nous avons identifié quatre facteurs impliqués dans ce processus.Le traumatisme psychique et les deuils compliqués qui ont succédé aux différentes pertes que ces adolescents ont subies pendant le génocide continuent de peser sur le processus de construction de leur sentiment d’exister. De ce fait, certains des comportements problématiques qu’ils affichent peuvent se comprendre comme des réactions comorbides au PTSD.L’environnement physique/matériel et humain dans lequel ces adolescents ont grandi était aussi un facteur de risque. La discontinuité/pluralité des contextes dans lesquels ils ont vécu, le côté institutionnel des villages d’enfants qui prend le dessus sur le côté familial, la primauté des liens de sang dans la société rwandaise et la (trop) grande importance accordée aux activités scolaires au détriment des autres activités sont mis en cause.La qualité de l’attachement développée par chacun des jeunes suivant sa trajectoire de développement joue aussi dans certains cas comme facteur de risque. L’insécurité de l’attachement est notamment impliquée dans certains comportements problématiques, dans la question de dépendance chronique de certains jeunes et dans la faible estime de soi.L’étude a aussi montré que dans certains cas ce sont les modalités relationnelles familiales et extrafamiliales propres à chaque adolescent qui jouent comme facteurs de risque, notamment des difficultés liées à la quête des origines et des héritages familiaux, ainsi que celles liées à la construction d’un sentiment d’affiliation à la famille SOS d’accueil.
From the assumption that problematic behaviors manifested by some adolescents who were raised in SOS Children’s Villages in post-genocide Rwanda constitute the negative side of the outcome of the process of construction of their sense of existence, the main aim of this research was to understand that process. These behavior problems would not necessarily mean its failure. Rather, especially at the adolescence period, they would be understood as attempts to make themselves exist, in line with different elements that we ought to discover.Applying a developmental and systemic research approach, and reasoning in terms of protection and/or risk factors, we identified four factors involved in that process.The psychological trauma and complicated grief that followed the losses that these adolescents sustained during the genocide are still a burden to the process of construction of their sense of existence. Therefore, some of their behavior problems can be understood as comorbid reactions to the PTSD.The physical and human environment in which these adolescents were raised was also a risk factor. The discontinuity/plurality of contexts in which they lived, the institutional side of SOS Children’s Villages that overpowers the family side, the primacy of blood relationships in the rwandan society and the (too much) consideration given to school activities, leaving out other activities, were found to be involved.The quality of the attachment developed by each youth through their development path comes also as a risk factor in some cases. The attachment insecurity is, among others, involved in some behavior problems, in the chronic dependency of some adolescents, and in the lack of self-esteem.The study also shows that in some cases, it is the family and extrafamily relational modalities of every adolescent that play as risk factors, namely those difficulties related to the quest for origins and family heritages and those involved in the construction of the feeling of belonging or affiliation to the SOS foster family.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine how SOS Children's Villages as an organization in Swaziland is affected by, and takes into account, the cultural, organizational and societal context in which it acts. Material was gathered through a field study during one month in one of the three SOS Children's Villages in Swaziland. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on the result from 12 semi-structured interviews with village mothers and other representatives from the organization. The other representatives were: social worker, program director, child and youth development coordinator, board member and educational manager. Since this study is both characterized by a specific historical, cultural and organizational context, we decided to connect the postcolonial perspective with an organization theory with focus on the concepts of culture, power and a children’s right perspective. The result from the study showed that SOS Children's village is affected by and takes into account the cultural and societal context in Swaziland in several ways. They do so, mainly by inlvolving the children in cultural values and activites. The result also showed that the village is influenced by the organizational field, because the SOS-Children´s village is in need of creating legitimacy. However, it becomes thus a dilemma how much the social work should be built upon, adapted, or should take into account the cultural, organizational and societal contexts to not maintain colonial worldviews.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to do a critical review of the aid organization SOS Children’s Villages text- and video campaigns, from a postcolonial perspective. Our purpose is divided into two questions: Are there colonial values in the advertising campaigns? Which language- and image strategies are used by SOS Children’s Villages to put across their messages? Our material consists of 10 selected video clips, and four printed ads that are made up of an image and a short text, which are part of a campaign named: Inte ett enda barn ska behöva vara ensamt (translation: Not a single child should have to be alone). We have chosen to use text- and image analysis as a method in our review of the material. The main theoretical base in our thesis is postcolonialism, while”the Other” and ”whiteness” are two concepts we have chosen so that we can reach a deeper analytical level. We have analyzed some of the clips from the concept “The White Man’s Burden”, and have discovered that ”The Western World” tries to insert their own values and ideals into ”The Third World”. We have also discovered that the children, in some sequences, are presented as non-human and differentiated from the “white Westerners”. The last chapter in our thesis problematizes how modern technology, as Smartphones, applications and social media, are used to make it easier to give money to charity. We also discuss how “The Western World” can be seen as a contributor to the current situation in “The Third World”, which makes the aspect of high-technology even more interesting.

Abstract:
Se propone una Aldea Infantil SOS en Lima Norte, distrito de Comas. Este distrito es el 4to distrito con mayor población de Lima y el segundo de Lima Norte con alrededor de 524 mil 894 habitantes según INEI. Este distrito tiene un margen de pobreza de 16%, ocupando el sexto lugar de Lima Norte y además en ocupar el tercer lugar en tener 3.9 áreas verdes/ hab., los dos primeros lo encabezan los distritos de Santa Rosa (18 mil 751 hab.) y Los Olivos (distrito menos pobre de Lima Norte: 9,75%). Hoy Lima Norte posee las características que facilitará el desarrollo del proyecto en sí, ya que cuenta con grandes extensiones de terrenos que pueden suplir la necesidad para abarcar el tamaño de que la edificación requiere y sigue siendo un sector de Lima vulnerable en cuanto a situación de niños que son víctimas de rechazo, violencia y abandono. Para esto, se hizo primero un criterio de selección para poder elegir el distrito adecuado para la aldea en Lima Norte según Aldeas Infantiles SOS, de los cuales se rescataron 4 ítems básicos: Índice de pobreza, densidad poblacional, cantidad de áreas verdes y el índice de denuncias por maltrato familiar y abandono de hogar. Finalmente se terminó escogiendo Comas por tener las características que se requieren para el establecimiento de la aldea. Se tiene pensado la construcción de las aldeas infantiles no como los albergues tradicionales, sino mediante hogares agrupados que buscan asimilarse a la forma de vida de una familia.
An SOS Children's Village is proposed in Lima Norte, district of Comas. This is the 4th district with the largest population of Lima and the second one with around 524 thousand 894 inhabitants according to INEI. This district has a 16% of poverty margin occupying the sixth place in Lima Norte and the third place to have 3.9 green areas per inhabitants. The first one is Santa Rosa with 18,751 inhab.) and the second one is Los Olivos (less poor district of Lima Norte: 9.75%). Today Lima Norte has the characteristics that will facilitate the development of the project itself, since it has large areas of land that can cover the size of the building required and remains a vulnerable sector of Lima in terms of Children who are victims of rejection, violence and abandonment. For this, four evaluation criteria were able to choose the appropriate district of Lima Norte according to SOS Children´s Villages, from which were: Poverty index, population density, number of green areas and the index of complaints about domestic violence and abandonment of home. Finally, it was finished choosing Comas for having the characteristics that are required for the establishment of the village. The construction of SOS Children´s Villages is planned not as traditional shelters, but through grouped homes that seek to assimilate the way of life of a real family.

Abstract:
L'histoire houleuse de la province du Katanga, et plus largement de la République démocratique du Congo a fortement remanié l'organisation du tissu social traditionnel et la répartition de la population. Dans les villages à proximité des routes, de nombreuses populations cohabitent - Tshokwés, Kasaïen, Amba, Bemba, Lamba, etc. - et essayent de projeter et construire un avenir malgré la rareté des ressources. Dans l'espace rural du Katanga et du nord de la province de la Copperbelt (Zambie), les différentiels économiques, réels et fantasmés, sont omniprésents. La circulation d'expatriés – personnel d'ONG, salariés des sociétés minières, missionnaires, etc. - et la présence de « creuseurs » ou encore le va-et-vient de camions transportant le minerai exacerbent la conscience de pauvreté des habitants. Les moyens de communication modernes, le modèle de consommation occidental ont été assimilés avec une brutale rapidité transformant radicalement les modes et manières de se représenter, et en répercussion la conscience de soi des individus (De Lame et Dibwe, 2005 : 36). La jeune génération, et notamment dans les villages où la marge de manœuvre créatrice est plus grande, réinvente ces codes au travers des décorations en argile, en usant d'un legs dont elle n'a pas nécessairement conscience. La « guerre sociale des signes » (Ouedraogo, 2008 : 8) qui accompagne la globalisation nécessite de mieux comprendre les processus de représentation et c'est ce que vise cette recherche ; il s'agit donc dans cet ouvrage de mieux percevoir la façon dont se disent les individus que sont les habitants de trois villages de la Copperbelt africaine, voire la façon dont ils s'affichent par le biais des décorations. “Décorations, peintures et images de soi ; les processus de représentation à l'ère du Village-Global : Études de cas dans trois villages de la Copperbelt africaine” analyse ainsi les représentations produites par les habitants des villages de Makwacha (République démocratique du Congo), de Kakyelo (DRC) et de Mudenda (Zambie) au travers des décorations réalisées sur les murs des cases
My research analyzes the mural paintings realized in the villages of Makwacha (Democratic Republic of Congo), Kakyelo (DRC) and Mudenda (Zambia). These mural paintings, while displaying apparently heterogeneous aesthetics, show similar production process (a mostly female collective dynamic, a similar use of clay and organic mixture as painting materials) that suggest their link to the former Lamba tradition called kushingula. Over the last 50 years, great economic and political changes have occured in Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo. How do these mural paintings practices relate to each other ? What social status do have these paintings nowadays? Who does realize them and for which reasons? What kind of narratives do they elaborate? In order to understand what mirror these practices, I investigate on the inhabitants' motivations and sources of inspiration and the singular histories of each village, connecting individuals' initiatives and influences with village economic issues and structural organization. Indeed, along with the inhabitants, these mural painting practices involve a wide range of actors (NGO, tourists, journalists, artists, etc.) intertwinning different scales, divergent interests and heclectic imaginaries which question how cultural values and signs constantly (re)emerged from heterogenous agencies and how it circulates through individuals and groups

Abstract:
SOS Children’s Village had engaged in advocacy in the very early days (1950s) but later began to focus on service provision, largely disconnecting it from the professional discourse. By the late 1990s, the organization expanded into over 100 countries. Despite doing excellent work as service provider, the organization felt the threat of being of little relevance, losing support and recognition. The organization had to rediscover how to engage in advocacy as integral part of its mission. Missing elements in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child offered the chance to convince internal and external public of the need of SOS Children’s Villages to engage in advocacy. Today, SOS Children’s Villages are an essential advocate for 550,000 children directly and 220 million children indirectly.

Abstract:
When a biblical narrative records a woman’s wish to “be built up” through having a son, it signifies her need for security, economic maintenance, and honor within the house of her husband. Being built up also brought a woman prestige among the community of women in her husband’s village. A woman’s womb-opening son, her peṭer reḥem, inaugurated her uterine family, her own generated “house” within her husband’s house. Mothers celebrated womb-opening sons with praise and laughter, they marked them with auspicious names, and they ritually redeemed them at the temple. The special status of womb-opening sons becomes evident as they are pitted against each other during struggles for succession in elite and royal households. A mother brought her house into existence through birthing a son; she created a full maternal alliance when she birthed multiple sons; and she ascended to the status of senior mother in the paternal house when her womb-opening son defeated the sons of other wives and succeeded his father.

Abstract:
Résumé: Interrogé sur l’enseignement de l’architecture, et bien qu’il ait exposé ses idées sur le sujet principalement dans deux de ses livres : « Précisions » (1930) et « Sur les quatre routes » (1941) Le Corbusier répond : « Je n’ai jamais reçu d’enseignement proprement dit. Je suis autodidacte même dans le sport. ». La formidable puissance didactique de Le Corbusier réside en cinq points : sa formation, son positionnement théorique, son invention de typologies, sa diffusion de l’architecture, sa production prolifique. Ainsi, bien au-delà de l’Œuvre Complète Le Corbusier offre à qui veut s’en servir un champ pédagogique particulièrement riche à découvrir et à partager. Aucun programme ne lui a échappé que ce soit les villas ou maisons, le logement collectif, les bureaux, les équipements (publics ou privés), les bâtiments institutionnels, les musées, les usines : tout est matière à invention. Cette invention s’accompagne de sa diffusion de l’architecture, de ses idées, à travers publications et conférences à travers le monde. Mais cela n’est rien comparé à sa production aux échelles variées de l’habitat minimum jusqu’à l’édifice monumental. C’est pourquoi avec le regard porté sur le projet des Quartiers Modernes Frugès construits à Pessac en 1926 nous examinerons comment ce « laboratoire » constitue une expérience pédagogique qui a valeur d’exemplarité et toujours d’actualité. Abstract: Asked about the architectural education and although he outlined his ideas on the subject mainly in two of his books: "Précisions" (1930) and "Sur les quatre routes" (1941), Le Corbusier replied: "I have never received proper education. I am self-taught even in sport. ". The amazing power of Le Corbusier’s didactic resides in five points: his training, his theoretical positioning, his invention of typologies, his diffusion of architecture, his prolific production. Thus, beyond his “Oeuvres Complètes” Le Corbusier offers to whom wants to use it, a rich educational field to discover and share. No program has eluded him whether it is villas or houses, collective housing, offices, facilities (public or private), institutional buildings, museums, factories : everything is material for invention. This invention is accompanied with his diffusion of architecture, of his ideas in books or lectures all over the world. But this is nothing compare to his production to various scales from the minimum housing to the monumental building. Therefore with the close look on the Modern Quarters Frugès project built in Pessac in 1926 we will examine how this "laboratory" is an educational experience that has of exemplarity value and is still relevant today.

Abstract:
This paper investigates whether aspirations matter for education, which offers a common route out of poverty. We find that mother aspirations are strongly related to the child’s grade achieved at age 18. The relation is nonlinear, suggesting there is a threshold, and depends on caste, household income and the village setting. The coefficients remain large and significant when applying control function estimation, using firstborn son as instrument. A similar strong relation is observed with learning outcomes, including local language, English and maths test results, and with attending school, but not with attending private education. These results are confirmed for outcomes at age 15. The findings provide direct evidence on the contribution of mother aspirations to children’s education outcomes and point to aspirations as a channel of intergenerational mobility. They suggest that education outcomes can be improved more rapidly by taking aspirations into account when targeting education programmes, and through interventions that shape aspirations.

Building Profitable and Sustainable Community Owned Connectivity Networks. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0065.

Abstract:
The IID seminar titled “Building Profitable and Sustainable Community Owned Connectivity Networks”, was hosted on 31 August 2020 on Zoom Webinar. The 2019 White Paper on science, technology and innovation (STI) recognise the pivotal enabling role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in realising an inclusive and prosperous information society and knowledge economy. One of the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI)’s key role is to catalyse the digital ecosystem and develop scalable models for community owned connectivity networks to replicate in other areas. Rural areas provide challenging environment to implement communication infrastructure for data and Internet based services, including high cost of network implementation and lack of customer base, low-income streams, highly scattered and low population density. The DSI has thus partnered with the University of Western Cape (UWC), the Mankosi Village community, with support from the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) to scaleup the Zenzeleni Community Owned Connectivity Networks (COCN). The Zenzeleni COCN has been in existence since 2012 and provides timely, reliable and affordable Wi-Fi connectivity to the remote rural areas of Mankosi and Zithulele in Mthatha. The webinar, facilitated by Ms Ellen Fischat from Story Room aimed to look at how rural and township wireless connectivity models, including Zenzeleni COCN can be scaled-up to increase the number of people connected in the rural settings, more so in light of the COVID-19 crisis. It is evident from the proceedings the need for community networks to provide access to connectivity and also more importantly, what connectivity enables. Subsequent discussions would need to focus on the users and owners of these community networks to understand how their lives have improved through the deployment of the technology. This will shed light of the financial feasibility and benefit.
