As part of the eCARE project's effort to facilitate the establishment and operation of Rural Business Centres (RBCs) for the extension of telecommunication and renewable energy services to underprivileged rural and peri urban communities, the project deploys RBCs comprising converted and furnished shipping containers equipped with telephones, fully multimedia computers, printers, scanners, copiers, internet and solar panels to the targetted communities.
