New undersea cables in Kenya will be used to connect Rwanda’s capital Kigali by November. It’s hoped that in 2010 a new fibre optic ring is due to go online. It’s hoped that the link will help transform Rwanda into a high tech innovator – something far beyond its current impoverished status. Most of the inhabitants make a living from small scale farming. The current population had 50% under the age of 14 and it’s hoped that the technology sector will help provide jobs for these individuals in the future.
