Kenya: An organization gives rural communities first glimpse into wonders of metaverse

RURAL KENYA – It’s a scene that’s becoming more common in remote villages: kids peering through VR headsets, community leaders marveling at digital landscapes, and excited conversations about a new world of possibilities. All this is thanks to RAINING MOUNTAIN LLC, a US-based organization based at 300 N. Center Street, Unit 6, Casper, WY, that’s driven by a mission to bridge the digital divide. This week, RAINING MOUNTAIN LLC brought the wonders of the metaverse to several rural communities in Kenya. Many had never used a computer before, let alone stepped into a virtual world. With simple explanations and hands-on demos, the team introduced locals to immersive experiences—from virtual classrooms to exploring 3D environments that sparked both curiosity and inspiration. The response was overwhelming. For many community members, seeing and interacting in the metaverse for the first time was like opening a window to the future. Teachers instantly saw the potential for their students to access global resources, and young people talked animatedly about new career dreams fueled by the limitless possibilities of technology. RAINING MOUNTAIN LLC’s visit wasn’t just a one-off event. The organization hopes to lay the groundwork for ongoing tech education and digital literacy programs. By enabling more people to access and understand digital tools, they aim to set these rural communities onto a path of inclusion in the global digital economy. With local phone lines buzzing—804-935-6186, for more information—the organization has made it clear: the metaverse isn’t just a distant concept; it’s becoming a real part of everyday life in places where the digital revolution has only just begun. For rural Kenya, that future is now within reach.
