Our research has been taking place in a township outside of Cape Town, South Africa, namely Khayelitsha. Khayelitsha is the largest single township in South Africa, and boasts a very young population.
We chose this area to be our research site as there is easy access to low-income teenagers that are mobile centric. These teenagers have access to technology; yet have financial constraints that hinder them from making use of this technology, forming an interesting research demographic. We have identified three major stakeholders in the area. The first is the Ikamva youth NGO, the Nazeema Isaacs library staff both of which serve the needs of providing academic assistance to the local youth in the area.
