There is no doubt that internet access is a crucial way to learn, to bank, to access healthcare, and to stay informed. But people need more than internet access.

While two in three people are now online, according to the current definition of internet access, billions still lack the meaningful connectivity they need to make the most of the internet.

Meaningful connectivity offers enormous benefits to those who have it. 

For an individual, meaningful connectivity can mean the difference between access to education, banking, and healthcare — or none of them. For society, it can determine how realistic and how impactful digitalisation programs will be.

Furthermore, many current and future innovations will remain out of reach for the vast majority of the population in each of these countries, who stay unconnected or have only basic access.

We can change this. 

Our small but impactful global team is working to fast-track action, bring internet connectivity to the global majority, and ensure everyone is meaningfully connected by 2030.

Your support can help us remove barriers to internet access, support more inclusive societies, and strengthen digital economies.
