iSABRE

Project iSABRE is a grassroots project created by myself and a few other US Peace Crops Volunteers to encompass our combined Information Communication Technology (ICT) projects in Rwanda. iSABRE started out with the Project iSABRE Resource, now called Simple Teaching: ICT in Rwanda. iSABRE is currently expanding into other areas, including laboratory development and teacher training, and plays an integral role in developing and running the annual Camp Techkobwa, and week-long ICT and Computer Science summer camp for Rwanda girls.

The idea behind iSABRE is simple: bring Rwanda and it's people into the digital age now. Not next year, not tomorrow, but today. Project iSABRE, while somewhat regulated by the Ministry of Education's guidelines, promotes an open-source approach to the Web. The Web has always been a free and collaborative workspace, and open-source software is the most prevalent example of such.

Currently, Project SABRE supports the Mozilla Firefox web browser, the Mozilla Thunderbird email client,  and the Ubuntu Operating System (Linux-based)in its endevour to support free and collaborative web usage in Rwanda.
