In Bungoma, Kenya, there is a kiosk that turns into a classroom at night.
Its owner doesn’t charge for the Wi-Fi. He left it open so that university students from the neighborhood—those who can’t afford to pay for mobile data but do have exams to take—can sit on the benches outside with their phones in hand, the signal reaching them for free from his shop. Some arrive after class, while others spend the entire night reviewing notes under the light of his sign.
No one asked him to do it. There is no sign announcing it, nor any hidden charge behind the gesture. He is simply a neighbor who decided that his internet connection was worth more shared than kept to himself. And in a place where every megabyte costs money, that kiosk has become the spot where several young people are, right now, closer to graduating.
