Heroes are members of the diaspora who work in the ICT sector and are conscious of the brain drain issues.

Side kicks are ICT students in developing economies

Inspiration

• Information Communication and Technology side kicks in developing economies lack access to resources and guidance in their studies
• The side kicks lack structural access to the internet.
• Members of the diaspora working in tech gained knowledge abroad but find it difficult to contribute back to their home countries
