 From village roots: Across problem-plagued Africa, a quiet revolution is taking place. Microcredit at the village level is enabling villagers to install solar panels to recharge their mobile phones. "What is going to permanently change Africa will be the iPhone", says a British educator currently resident in Malawi. "People will be connected via the Internet as never before." Other development achievements include hand-operated water pumps, which have seen a near-total eradication of cholera. Take a trip by pickup, minibus and train from northern Zambia to coastal Mozambique, and experience how life in this region of Africa is finally changing for the better.
