Communities worldwide are coming together to build and maintain themselves where traditional Internet services are yet to reach.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For one-third of the population in rural, remote, and even urban communities worldwide, every day without Internet access is a day of lost opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We support these efforts and provide grant funding to build community networks. Learn more about them:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
