MajiNet is a beacon of hope within the Victoria Sentinel, working to bridge the connectivity gap in East Africa, especially around Lake Victoria. Although Kenya's tech sector is growing fast with investments, according to The Big Deal Africa Kenya has attracted $638 million in 2024, representing 29% of Africa's total startup funding, most of this growth is centered in Nairobi. This leaves rural areas with poor connectivity, making it hard to access vital services like healthcare and education. This keeps many people in poverty and limits their chances to improve their lives. In areas like Lake Victoria, where natural beauty contrasts with daily struggles, MajiNet aims to make a real difference. The Victoria Sentinel project, which is focused on monitoring and saving Lake Victoria, needs fast internet to process data from IoT sensors and user apps. But frequent weather problems like storms, floods, and droughts make connectivity even worse, breaking power lines and networks. MajiNet's goal is to use AI to manage bandwidth based on demand and to maintain network infrastructure. These solutions make sure that internet connections are strong and reliable, allowing quick access to telemedicine and online education.MajiNet aims to help local communities thrive, improving living conditions and promoting sustainable growth. Moreover, MajiNet uses Vambo AI's multilingual technology to overcome language barriers and improve service delivery. This technology ensures clear and accurate communication, making healthcare and education accessible to everyone, regardless of their language. The challenges around Lake Victoria are not unique. Many regions across East Africa face similar connectivity issues. Surveys and government reports highlight the urgent need for better infrastructure, but efforts often fall short. MajiNet aims to fill this gap, offering a model that can be scaled across the continent, bringing the benefits of connectivity to every part of East Africa
