Welcome Yulli! Our School of Data team has been doing some work in Tanzania[1] that may be of interest. As for other open community activity, a friend of mine is doing Ubuntu training [2]. The Open Institute (based in Nairobi) has been doing some great work in East Africa. [3]. You may also be interested in the Open Data Research's project with ihub Research from Nairobi [4]
Do keep us posted on your progress and ask many questions on list. Someone is sure to know the answers.
