Empowering communities with Sustainable Connectivity Solutions

At unconnected.org, we're passionate about bridging the digital divide and creating a world where everyone has access to the transformative power of the internet.

That's why we're enabling the best suited and affordable connectivity solutions to be implemented in the most remote and underserved regions on the planet.

We believe the connectivity solutions should be introduced, implemented, managed and scaled by the communities themselves for biggest impact - longterm.
