Is it really so binary that either they’re rich westerners or they’re so destitute they can’t benefit from this project?

Also, this project ends up being a compact way to deliver educational material. Imagine sending them the equivalent in physical books and manuals

I feel that's exactly what the op was saying in response to gp?

There's a spectrum, and while we should have increased empathy and awareness of a LOT of places in the world where life is spectacularly rough and wildly different than ours (2 years of my childhood were in a civil war and my Canadian wife just cannot fathom any of those experiences), there are indeed a lot of places in the world where knowledge and access and technology are helpful.

I was rephrasing the comment I'm replying to in agreement

Not sure why your calling out this poster when the OP said the above.
