Bangladesh is bringing the internet to isolated rural areas through a social enterprise that empowers women to become entrepreneurs. The women, known as Kallyani, travel between villages via bicycle, bringing with them a laptop, tablet, smartphone, Wi-Fi hotspot and digital camera that villagers can use. The women have also been trained to give simple legal and medical advice. Through the iSocial entrepreneurship program, women earn $200 monthly - more than the average male farmer.
