There is also the well meaning scam where they try to do something good, but have very little ability to actually execute and/or are trying to solve a problem without running the numbers (eg: gravity lights). They can end up going full scam when they refuse to pivot to techniques that would work better when the numbers come in and say their idea doesn't work.
These guys don't seem to qualify for this and fall into standard NGO scam, as the wifi/computers/etc in a farm that is destined for the 3rd world just seems to be there to generate buzz and justify their outrageous price tag. It seems like another box of stuff that will break in a year that gets dumped on the third world.
