eBay ? But you need a computer to put something on eBay...
Mine is no joke. As we are used to computer all around us, we sometime forget the number of things that they have made possible in the last years - like eBay, a very good example of something that could be usefull to low-tech communities.
Now, I agree that a computer is not really the *first* priority for a place were people are starving; but computers would certainly be useful to a poor but self or semi sufficient community.

Suggestion: check the permission of the ~ and of the ~/.ssh directories, and of the files in the ~/.ssh directory.
ssh do a sanity check to see if anybody apart from you can modify those files
