This project extended ECHO to Homenet Indonesia, an organization working through ten chapters and supporting over 10,000 women below poverty. eHomemakers researched on the telephony set-up needed to deploy ECHO in Indonesia, developed a mobile app to serve as sending modem, and formulated a new telephony infrastructure for the deployment.
A total of 300 members and staff of Homenet Indonesia were briefed about the benefit of Internet and how ECHO would promote Fair Wages for the production chain of a social business center. Staff were trained in computer and online project management software.
