Last time I checked sites like steemit don't easily give out accounts, because people look out to buying steemit accounts. Well if that's the case these villagers would need few weeks or months of intense bitcoin class to be able to write about bitcoin and earn too. I was thinking, if Op sets up a site or forum for the villagers don't know if that's what you suggest. The Chief can sponsor programmers to write scripts and launch a site where the villagers can learn at the comfort of their homes and interact with fellow village on issues regarding bitcoin. The site can rank on google within few years of consistency, which can as well help the villagers to make money from adverts and other deals and traffics from different people who are not from the village. Such project can yield long term profits for them and strong knowledge of bitcoin.
