A community connecting 1 billion unconnected people to the internet to bridge the digital divide.
About us
We are a passionate community dedicated to connecting 1 billion unconnected people to the internet. Our primary focus is on bridging the digital divide and enabling an inclusive ecosystem that reaches the 2.9 billion individuals who remain unconnected. We firmly believe that the digital divide widens inequality, hampers development, and undermines long-term sustainability. To address these challenges, we run a variety of projects on a global scale, making a tangible impact on people's lives. Our initiatives are designed to support vital aspects such as education, commerce, jobs, safety, and health. You can actively contribute as a partner, donor, ambassador, or supporter, amplifying the reach and impact of our efforts. Together, we can foster a more connected and equal world, where everyone has access to the opportunities that the internet brings. Stay updated on our latest projects, collaborations, and success stories. Let's build a future where connectivity is universal, empowering individuals and communities worldwide.

We are excited to announce that we have received a grant from USAID BEACON to expand internet connectivity in rural areas of the Philippines. This initiative will provide free, safe, high-speed internet access to schools and communities, empowering students and fostering digital inclusion. The grant will support the deployment of internet technology in carefully selected locations where the need for connectivity is most critical. This will also help expand our project with Microsoft Airband, furthering our mission to bridge the digital divide. Together with USAID, we're committed to making the biggest impact by working collaboratively to improve the lives of Filipinos. More details about the project, including specific locations and implementation plans, will be shared in the coming weeks. #DigitalInclusion #USAIDBEACON #Connectivity #EducationForAll #BridgingTheGap #TechForGood #MicrosoftAirband#Philippines Benjz Gerard Sevilla, Mea Thompson , Andrew Atkinson, John Garrity, Imelda Lamboon, John Kevin Benico, Melissa Paula C., John Lawrence Avila
