Happy I put in the work to get an ESRI Certificate for the Geo Apps 1 month MOOC, and have now started CREATING AN ARCGIS STORY MAP - (only 2 hours 35 minutes).  My Kenyan colleagues, especially students at Kenyatta University with mapping skills, will begin collaborating with Safina to develop apps that can be field tested as the books are being distributed in rural Kenya.   Anyone interested in getting involved, post a reply with an email address and I'll continue you.

Thanks @DavidMurray_ODWC   I'm mid-way through the ESRI Geo Apps MOOC, as containers filled with 166,000+ books are making their way by sea to Mombasa for distribution in rural Kenya.   very helpful response you posted that I'll share with the NGO team members, some with mapping experience, but most convinced of the need to develop mapping and spatial analysis skill sets while they work on rural development   https://safinaempowerment.org
