An innovative Kenyan social network project, which combines crowd sourced stories and citizen reporting, is set to be rolled out in a few weeks.
The Kuyu Project is aimed to enrich local content and empower the youth through story sharing.
It's a digital literacy initiative, which aims to use the Web to revolutionise East African social media through the networking site - StorySpaces.
StorySpaces was demonstrated at the Media 140 conference in Barcelona. It is a mobile-based social networking site where youth can share stories and search for important news logged on other young people's accounts.
