Cajutel to the rescue-

In the west of Africa, the poor pay nearly 100 times more for 1 GB of data compared to the rich. That was a key message delivered by Project Cajutel, which aims to deliver high-speed internet to the masses of West Africa at low-cost to people of West Africa.
It is a staggering and little-known fact that West Africa’s poor pay nearly 100 times more for the same Internet access product compared to the rich. The problem is the internet infrastructure is very poor, data speed is very low, and prices are expensive on a per GB basis.
The cost of 1 GB of data may be a fraction of a few percents of monthly income for many affluent Africans, but for the poor, it can be as high as 30% and simply out of reach. Hence, Project cajutel's gigantic and ambitious goal is to deliver Internet access at high speed and very affordable costs.

The undertaking is overwhelming on various dimensions, however, on the off chance, that anybody has the experience getting the methodology and technology right, it would be Project cajutel. The founder of cajutel has successfully served internet facility in different countries, and actively contributing in the telecommunication sector since initial days of the internet. Data has turned into the crude material for developing people. The greater part of our respondents in an ongoing review say they need to utilize the Internet for schoolwork. Affordable internet is an extraordinary democratiser. At the point when people are on the Internet, they don't live in shacks any more.
