=== Mali ===
Initial assistance in [[Mali]] came from the CMRT (Community Mobilization through Radio Technology) program sponsored by [[United States Agency for International Development|USAID]]. Under CMRT, Geekcorps installed 5 radio stations to enable local communication through the area. Later under another program Radio for Peace Building, Geekcorps installed another 11 stations, and renovations were done to older existing stations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.iesc.org/geekcorps|title=ICT & Applied Technologies|website=IESC|access-date=2017-07-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111213171030/http://www.iesc.org/geekcorps|archive-date=2011-12-13|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Geekcorps set up [[Information and communications technology|ICT]] stations in less populated areas of Mali in 2006. These stations were updated by a memory stick delivered from a computer center with internet access in [[Ouelessebougou]]. Although this allowed many rural locations access to specific web resources, such as web pages and digital media, due to lack of interest the program was modified after a year. Yearly updates to more desired information such as Moulin, a French version of Wikipedia, became the focus.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.sciencealert.com/opinions/20092402-18834.html|title=Rural Internet Goes by Road|last=Nightingale|first=Katherine|work=ScienceAlert|access-date=2017-06-19|language=en-gb}}</ref>
