I understand that there are some disadvantages of using this program in some areas of the world. Electricity and internet connections are a problem. Transferring funds is a problem. And, there are probably many that I am not aware of. The first step would be to overcome whatever problems might be involved with you completely understanding everything that SFI has to offer. This you must be able to do. You must find a way to access the internet on regular basis, which I imagine you have since you posted the question. And, you must have a way to reach out to others to get them interested in what SFI offers. It seems that there are many that have overcome these and that SFI is working to make it easier. But, at the moment, yes there are a few disadvantages

But, surely there are some advantages? Sit down one day and consider what you have around you. The strengths that your location gives you. Is your country rich with small businesses, cottage industries? If someone needs a basket, do they go to the local Wal Mart and buy it, or do they just make it? Is the area rich in natural resources like semi-precious gems? Could you approach the leaders of the local villages and small towns, discuss the possibility of setting up co-ops where the people could create their goods to be sold to the world???

Maybe not, but well, this gives you a clue as to what I am thinking. Ya, your area might present you with some obstacles that others do not face. But, I imagine that it also offers a lot of opportunities that others do not have. Focus on those unique opportunities and exploit them. If electricity is a problem, maybe you could get your village working at producing handicrafts to sell on TripleClicks, and well, in a short amount of time, your village could have electricity!
