DonKIT

One of the projects Frank and his team are working on proves that innovation and traditions can go hand-in-hand. The starting point of the so-called DONKIT is the most common means of transport here: a donkey. I can already read your minds, thinking “What are you planning to do with a donkey??” Well, let us explain…In order to give remote and vulnerable communities access to media, this donkey will be equipped with multi media equipment (laptops, beamer, microphones etc…), but also traditional play equipment. The aim is to offer the children new accessible ways of expressing themselves and have access to information. Naturally, the construction and type of materials is carefully being thought through, with the help of national and international innovative experts. The DonKIT will entirely run on solar power, since sunshine is in abundance here! The DonKIT can easily pass by different communities, since it is one of the few means of transport that is able and used to cope with the dry sandy ‘roads’ in the district. We will keep you posted on this DonKIT journey!
