This is such an important perspective! Too often, tech innovations focus only on connected urban users and forget the realities of millions in rural areas. Offline-first apps that are light, localized, and data-friendly can truly bridge the digital divide and empower everyday Kenyans. Looking forward to seeing more developers prioritize these practical solutions that really make a difference!
