Growing the Internet. For Everyone.

The Internet paves the way for people and communities to thrive.

For 33 percent of the world, on every continent, in rural, remote, and even urban communities, each day without Internet access is a day of lost opportunity.

Closing the digital divide demands passionate people and creative solutions. Through our global community, we empower and support people to bring the Internet to everyone. We work to reduce barriers to access, and make it faster and cheaper. Together, we donâ€™t just build and maintain connectionsâ€”we advocate for the right policies so that the Internet can grow.

Bringing the Internet to Remote Areas

A decade ago, living in remote villages like Zardaly in the small, landlocked nation of Kyrgyzstan was akin to being truly isolated from the rest of the world. Kyrgyzstanâ€™s mountainous terrain can make remote villages, like Zardaly, difficult to connect. But growing the Internet in these hard-to-reach places and bringing connectivity to communities can change lives for the better and amplify peopleâ€™s voices.
