I'll start. I live in Venezuela, and since I'm working at an ISP company, I know there is a lot of people who are completely off the grid who has no access to a proper up to date education, since their only means of getting information is through traveling to nearby locations with a signal, or using old outdated books that are probably already rooting.

So for the last year I've been making proposals and taking them to higher entities, to try and go to those communities in the middle of nowhere, so we can implement Kiwix there. I already have the packages, the methodology to implement it, I'm even developing a GNU/Linux distro to make the process easier, in line with EndlessOS, but unfortunately Endless is too heavy for the computers we are dealing with.

We might start it soon, we have already done some tests, and I even have a website (which I need to properly build still).

I wanna read your experiences.
