Only 16% of Africa's 1 billion people are online, but, every day, the web is improving lives and boosting socio-economic development around the world. When we launched the Africa Connected competition last year, our aim was to gather inspirational stories that show the impact of the web and Google products in the everyday lives of Africans.
We also wanted to inspire other Africans to come online to explore and benefit from what the web has to offer. Today we are thrilled to announce the top five most inspirational stories, selected by the voting public. They were chosen from over 2,200 submissions from 35 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sitawa used Google Blogger to establish an award winning blog on mental health in East Africa. Sitawa wants to build a physical resource centre where people can access information online and get much-needed help to manage their conditions.
