  1. Web Monetized content creation and Web Monetized content discovery on Moja WiFi in Africa

    Grant for the Web

    90 000 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Reg Orton

    Building Web Monetization into Moja, a WiFi platform providing free consumer access to the Internet for those who typically cannot afford it. We are tackling two issues with content in the African context: Local content creation is poorly monetized and therefore high value and relevant content is not created or widely published, and access to existing pay-walled content platforms is difficult if not impossible due to low disposable income and relatively high costs for premium and paywalled content. Web Monetizing Moja will both provide an income stream via Web-Monetization, and connect our users with rich content available online.
