Hi Aki,<div><br><div>My name is Judith, I am the president of Akirachix. I just want to clarify that Akirachix has not received $0.49 million as referred to on the World Bank site. For more information on the grant we were awarded please refer here <a href="http://www.infodev.org/en/Article.639.html">http://www.infodev.org/en/Article.639.html</a></div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">The iHub hasn&#39;t received any money for the Akirachix, and we have no access to these funds.  From my understanding, the $492k is actually split between multiple organizations in different countries in something around $50k chunks (not sure on the exact numbers), which means there are 9-10 of them.<div>

<br></div><div>The only funds that have come from the WB/infoDev through the iHub are for the buildout and operations of the m:lab downstairs and a research project done by Jessica and team.<br><div><div><br><div>
