## About Us
### Who we are
Dunia Yetu, which means "Our World" in Swahili, is not just a name; it's a powerful symbol of collective empowerment and a vision of a digital future where Tanzanians are in control of their own destiny. It embodies unity, autonomy, and a commitment to digital sovereignty. As a people-powered movement, Dunia Yetu aims to redefine Tanzania's digital ecosystem, emphasising collective ownership and a self-reliant digital future shaped by the community.
Envision a future where Tanzanians create and oversee their digital experiences, tailored to the nations unique needs. Through Dunia Yetu, this vision becomes reality.
### Our Mission
Our mission is to unite a community, enhancing Tanzanian autonomy and independence. Empowering citizens to collectively shape Tanzania's future starts with regaining control of the nations Internet infrastructure and establishing a self-reliant digital ecosystem. In the next two years, we aim to empower thousands of coders with an innovative network and toolkit. Beyond technology, our initiative signifies more—an independent digital ecosystem proudly owned and managed by East Africans.
The Internet was meant to be a peer-to-peer infrastructure where we are at the centre of our data and digital lives. Inspired by the past, were building an Internet how “the” Internet was originally intended.
Join Dunia Yetu's movement to empower Tanzania, building a new Internet collectively owned and governed by the people. Let's redefine Tanzania's digital landscape together and forge a self-reliant Internet for a brighter digital future.

# Dunia Yetu Coding Academy
Our team is dedicated to fostering technological empowerment within Dar es Salaams local community through the establishment of a Coding Academy. This initiative aims to provide accessible and inclusive learning opportunities, equipping individuals with valuable tech skills that are increasingly essential in today's digital landscape. Our Coding Academy will serve as a dynamic hub where community members can engage in immersive learning experiences, participate in hackathons, and attend hands-on coding workshops. By creating a supportive environment that encourages collaboration and innovation, we aspire to empower individuals to navigate the ever-evolving world of technology and contribute meaningfully to Tanzanias digital realm. Through this endeavour, we envision a community that not only embraces technological advancements but actively shapes and drives them.
Our team is actively involved in setting up the Dunia Yetu Hub in Dar es Salaam, providing a communal space for community members to convene. This hub will serve as a versatile coworking space and will also host our Coding Academy's hackathons and workshops.

# Participate in our Coding Academy
Dunia Yetu is working to create the curriculum for our Coding Academy.
Once a week we will hold online workshops to discover:
- How to build a peer2peer app for practical day2day requirements for Tanzania and Zanzibar
- How to host the Internet of the Future, how to participate in and build on it
- How to build reliable code, do continuous delivery & integration on top of this new Internet
- How to build the most modern websites and e-commerce experiences in no time
Practical Sovereign AI
Hackathons will be held twice a month in person in Dar, providing opportunities for community members to collaborate together. A summer camp is being developed for talented participants in Tanzania.
We will be hiring 5 researchers / trainers to help deploy this programme across Tanzania. An update is coming soon with regards to onboarding.

Farmers earn TFT according to the amount of Internet capacity their Nodes connect to the ThreeFold Grid. The Internet capacity is verified by the ThreeFold Blockchain on an ongoing basis using the “Proof-of-Capacity” algorithm.

# How you can participate
![Image](participate.png#medium#mx-auto)
Dunia Yetu is using the ThreeFold Grid to create Tanzanias first self-governed internet.
ThreeFold is a globally-distributed grid of storage, compute, and network capacity, acting as “no middleman” Internet resources between independent capacity providers and users. The ThreeFold Grid is formed by Farmers, independent people who connect Nodes (decentralised Internet capacity) anywhere electricity and network are present. Together, they form a globally distributed Internet infrastructure and earn income in the form of TFT.
![Image](img/participate.png#medium#mx-auto)
The future is about decentralisation, participation, and working together to achieve our goals. As a decentralised movement, community involvement and creation is integral. This new Internet can only succeed if we find ways to collaborate where we together pull this Internet concept forward. Below, please find some of the ways you can join us in building a better Internet for Tanzania.
1. [Host a Node](./host_a_node.md)
2. [Build on top of Tanzanias decentralised internet](./build.md)

# Dunia Yetu Innovation Hubs
To facilitate the Dunia Yetu project and empower local communtiies around Tanzania we are creating Innovation Hubs across the country.
We are building a network of distributed innovation hubs around Tanzania which will feature:
- Event spaces
- Education facilities
- Connected IT resources
Recording studio for VR, AR and Metaverse
These hubs will provide a communal space for community members to convene, serving as a versatile coworking space as well as hosting Dunia Yetu Coding Academy hackathons and workshops.
Hubs will have internet generators locally installed providing internet for all community members. The concept will be sustainable and environmentally friendly through the introduction of solar panels and earth regenerators:

# Tanzania's New Sovereign Internet
The current centralised Internet model gives companies access to the data of hundreds of millions of citizens, making people the products. Corporations have immense power in influencing the population and gain financially from this model with Tanzania losing +10 billion USD per year because of not having their own sovereign internet.
![Image](img/current_model.jpeg#medium#mx-auto)
Dunia Yetu wants to change this model by helping Tanzania to build their own sovereign internet infrastructure where the people are in control and are the ones to benefit from their own internet. We are using the ThreeFold Grid to accomplish this.
ThreeFold is a globally-distributed grid of storage, compute, and network capacity, acting as “no middleman” Internet resources between independent capacity providers and users. The ThreeFold Grid is formed by Farmers, independent people who connect Nodes (decentralised Internet capacity) anywhere electricity and network are present. Together, they form a globally distributed Internet infrastructure and earn income in the form of TFT.
<br>
**Dunia Yetu will provide a new internet that is:**
- **Affordable:** This new internet will cost $1-$5 a month whereas the current internet model costs a minimum of $30 monthly
- **Fast and efficient:** Internet capacity is produced and allocated locally allowing local content hosting and increasing speeds
- **Accessible:** With the Internet being localized and more affordable, accessibility for everyone will be greatly enhanced
- **Reliable:** As this Internet is decentralised, when one component fails the system continues to operate
- **Secure:** It provides enhanced security, reducing single points of failure, enhancing data privacy, and offering resilience against cyberattacks
- **Co-owned:** All users co-own this new Internet and participate in decision making
- **Sustainable:** The most sustainable Internet infrastructure worldwide. The current model consumes 5-10% of the worlds energy
