Certainly not the answer you are expecting, but I am afraid it is the
reality, developping countries do not really care about open source.

They just use pirated software (windows) because it takes less time to
start-up, because it cames with better internationalization...

Time comes when they reach the limits of using pirated software and
turning to open source is a solution, but that needs a certain level
of development.
