For a digital transformation of Africa throught free and opensource softwares
Innovative technology is important only when it is apprehended by the population that appropriates it. Imagine on the Boot Camps model, the Open Source Tour (OST) are mobile workshops that bring together and initiate all newcomers to the use of free software, digital manufacturing, citizen engagement, the environment protection, collaborative and communautary mapping and co-creation. For the new edition of this year, we are targeting 6 localities in Togo. These communities visited will be equipped with a digital library and computers that we will have to co-fabricate.
Through these itinerant bootcamps our community hears:

Budget allocation:
We count on you to raise a minimum of € 4740, and for a few euros more we can give a beautifull smile to our team of volunteers who work on the platform of the project which will be accessible on opensourcetour.org.
Nowadays, several innovation projects are taking place in our capital but the inside territory of the country remains marginal to this technological evolution, forgotten by the promoters of innovation centers/hubs, actors. This observation has prompted Minodoo to explore for a few years ago, well thought out alternatives for a digital, free, competent and emerging Africa. The social impact is all the more noticeable as the “door-to-door” technology on which the actions of Minodoo are based taking into account the realities of the continent, turns out to be a unique approach and concept that brings technology to every household.
Minodoo community is a gathering of dynamics young people around the values of collaborative work, knowledge sharing, citizen engagement through ICTs, but also youth entrepreneurship. In fact, it is a social innovation factory and a space for the appropriation of the computer tool. Within the Minodoo community, we advocate a horizontal and transparent way of working, while involving citizens in solving their daily problems.
