    OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT 

    The project aims to establish community networks in two rural municipalities in order to provide reliable and affordable access to the Internet and other community services to residents. The project also aims to empower community ownership and management of network infrastructure while fostering social and economic development in the area.  

    WHY IS THIS PROJECT IMPORTANT 

    Lack of Internet access poses challenges for residents and businesses that rely on Internet connectivity for communication, information access, and online transactions. This also affects students, who may struggle with their studies and farmers, who may be unable to market their agricultural products online. Many community members use mobile Internet data, which is can be expensive and unreliable, and may only be accessible in certain areas. The project enables community members to access to information, education, and economic opportunities by leveraging the potential of digital technologies and communication services. 

    The Internet is for Everyone

    The Internet Society Foundation supports the vision of the Internet Society and its work for an open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet for everyone.
