Welcome to PC Village Cameroon

The background

Cameroon is a beautiful and interesting country in the heart of Africa. It has got a young, well-educated and hard-working population, rich natural resources, peace and political stability, world-class football players, excellent food, a pleasant climate in a varied landscape and fantastic music. Still, it remains relatively poor. One of the reasons for this is lack of modern infrastructure. This opens up opportunities for both foreign aid and business. We will pursue both!

The vision

We believe that nothing can give the new generation better opportunities than good computer literacy and access to the internet. PC Village will provide this in parts of Cameroon where people lack these assets today. Once French- and English-speaking Cameroon is covered, we intend to move on to the other West-African countries. We are looking for contributions of equipment and start-up capital in the rich world, but the expansion will be financed by profitable local operations.

The two legs

PC Village will stand firmly on two legs, both of them simultaneously supporting and being dependent on the other. Both legs are equally important!
The first leg is basic computer and internet education for local schoolchildren. This will be provided free of charge to local schools, using equipment and staff already at hand for the commercial part of our operations. Apart from the boost that increased connection to the outer world gives to society, this leg will in the long run produce customers for our second leg.
The second leg is a modern IT cafe, catering to the need for state-of-the-art computer equipment and internet access in the local community. The demand for high quality services of this kind is huge from both consumers and small businesses ­ in many places nothing like this exists at all today ­ and this leg will generate the funds necessary for both current operations and expansion to new sites.

The PC Village center

Our venues shall be the hub of computer and internet operations in the towns and villages where we will be operating. We will have both the technological know-how and the knowledge of how to use the new technology for business and networking purposes. We will have the equipment needed to make the most of the internet: cameras, scanners, printers, copying machines, recording equipment etc. By selecting the best suppliers or by using high-class in-house solutions, we will maintain the highest possible reliability of power supply and internet connection ­ services which today can not be taken for granted in third world countries. Whenever we have available resources, we will sell or lease and service IT equipment to customers outside of our centers.

We need your help to get started

We have investigated the possibility to ship used equipment from Sweden to Cameroon, but had (for the time being) to discard this option due to unfavourable freight costs and practical problems. We therefore see this as a normal business investment, albeit with the profit counted in poverty alleviation instead of monetary dividends to our bank accounts. The equipment will instead be purchased locally and the more money we can collect in Sweden and send down to Cameroon, the quicker we can get PC Village up to a level where it is self-supporting.
