Sad for the poor Ugandan kids.

This sentence caught my attention:

>>Uganda's High Court ruled the 63 Bridge International Academies provided unsanitary learning conditions, used unqualified teachers and were not properly licensed. However, many parents have protested and rejected the decision to close its doors.

The key point here is "lincensed": totalitarian (or banana republics) and corrupt regimes have this convenient way of "licensing" to throw away anyone they don't like. These schools must learn to properly "buy" the licenses and sanitation certificates by appropriately pleasing the authorities.

Disclaimer: I don't have high opinion of both Mr. MZ and Mr. BG when it comes to philanthropy given their (more so of MZ, through the internet.org) greedy and overall dishonest behaviour regarding their users, but this effort of theirs seems laudable.

Quick point to add for you, Zuck has far more control over vendor lockin and hostility towards his users than Gates does at this point.

Isn't it something they learnt from the developed countries? Never mind patent trolls
