In July, 2000, GCF Board members met with UNHCR officials to talk about the feasibility of bringing Internet access to the residents of a refugee camp. Africa was the focus for this pilot project.
 
UNHCR identified a possible site in Tanzania. GCF representatives visited Mtabila Camp near Kasulu, Tanzania and met with refugees and local Tanzanians.
Local committees formed in Mtabila and Kasulu to investigate options and possibilities. An Internet Project Steering Committee was established by a VSO volunteer, who became the project manager.
