+## 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 nation’s 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 nation’s 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, we’re 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.

+## Build on top of Tanzania’s decentralised internet 
+
+**True digital sovereignty for open-source builders**
+
+Tanzania has the opportunity to leverage the ThreeFold network to develop impactful solutions that not only benefit individuals but also contribute to the overall advancement of their local communities. Our aspiration is to empower Tanzanian developers to construct programs and products tailored to Tanzania’s specific needs. Envision the creation of a music streaming platform that addresses royalty issues or the potential of a decentralised Uber model within our internet framework, eliminating unnecessary intermediaries. Through these initiatives, our goal is to enable Tanzanian creators and entrepreneurs to unlock the full potential of our internet infrastructure for the greater good.

+
+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.

+# Dunia Yetu Coding Academy
+
+This new internet must be built by Tanzanians, allowing citizens to create the digital solutions that their communities need. 
+
+Our team is dedicated to fostering technological empowerment within Tanzania’s local communities 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 Tanzania’s digital realm. Through this endeavour, we envision a community that not only embraces technological advancements but actively shapes and drives them.
+
+Our first Coding Academy will be based in Dar es Salaam, with further branches opening across Tanzania in the future. The Dunia Yetu Coding Academy will organise workshops on IT fundamentals as well as advanced tech including web development, AI and Blockchain. Learn the skills you need to participate in Tanzania’s new Internet.

+# 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 world’s energy
