A cooperatively governed broadcast network and physical infrastructure platform — TVWS mesh broadband, community media, civic intelligence, and DAO governance — built for and by the communities it serves.
From the airwaves to the ballot box, The African Village integrates broadcast, economic empowerment, civic intelligence, physical infrastructure, and cooperative governance into a single community-owned platform.
TV White Space (TVWS) spectrum reaches 1–10 kilometers per node — a hundred times the range of WiFi. MaNet mesh routing means every node is both a receiver and a router. The network heals itself when a node goes down.
Village Shares are earned through contribution — content creation, node hosting, civic participation — and carry one vote per member. No investor override. No algorithm. The community decides what the platform does.
The African Village is the broadcast and infrastructure layer of a growing civic technology ecosystem. Each platform feeds the others. The village amplifies all of them.
If you want to host a node, create content, serve on a governance council, or simply be part of a community-owned network — this is the moment to show up.
