An equitable world is only possible with equal access to the internet. Internet access democratises students’ access to information and knowledge, empowers teachers with advanced teaching tools, removes geographical barriers, fosters interaction with global communities and supports the development of essential digital skills for the future. The impact is lifelong and societal. It changes lives.

Our technology, Big Box, is a lightweight purple device that can fit in a rucksack that can provide safe reliable WiFi for 1000s of users- anywhere. Just plug it in and Wi-Fi can cover a whole school. With your support we will manufacture and deploy 5 Big Box devices to schools in Uganda waiting to be connected. With your help we will open a world of information and knowledge for children. They won't have to wait to find out what they want to know, they will be able to reach out and grab it!
