LO: To understand the perceptions of Africa

Did you know that… In 2004 the Opportunity International Bank of Malawi (located in South Eastern Africa) introduced the use of special cash cards that read your fingerprints to check your identity?

Clever Cards This technology is called biometrics. These cards read the patterns on your fingers to identify you as the correct owner, so there’s no need for you to remember a PIN number. This means that even those who are unable to read or write, or who lack formal identification such as a driving license will be able to access secure banking. They are not even available in Britain yet.

Did you know that… Nigeria (located in West Africa) has had its own communications satellite?

Did you know that… Did you know that…   Every year, Nigeria (West Africa) produces more movies than the UK or the USA?

Did you know that… In Kenya, you can make payments, receive your wages and even save money on your mobile phone?

Customers of the ‘Safaricom’ mobile network can keep up to 100,000 shillings (about £700) in a virtual account on their handsets. This service means that people can have somewhere to store their money even if they have no access to a physical bank. Payments can be sent from and received by a virtual account via SMS text message.

Did you know that… By 2012, it is predicted that more than a third of Africans will have access to high-speed broadband Internet?

The SEACOM high-speed cable running along the east coast of Africa provides broadband access as shown on the map. Since going live in 2009, the cable provides a high-speed link to India and Europe. SEACOM is almost 77% African-owned. This, along with other regional developments, means that very shortly a third of the continent should have access to broadband.

Did you know that… In Sub-Saharan Africa, children’s play can mean clean water?

Did you know that… In 2004, an African woman was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?

Did you know that… A 15 year-old Tanzanian schoolboy made a groundbreaking scientific discovery?
