Empowering a community of 10,000 people across nine villages by granting them access to the internet for the first time was a mission that Mweso had dreamt of and studied for over a decade, but at various points installing internet in rural Malawi seemed a hurdle too high to jump…

We're thrilled to announce an exciting partnership between unconnected.org and Network X for this year! Together, we're pooling our resources and expertise to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: digital inequality.

Malaysia stands as a nation of diverse cultures, languages, and landscapes. Yet, despite its vibrant diversity, a digital divide persists, separating urban centers from remote regions. Bridging this gap is not just a technological imperative; it's a social imperative. In this blog post, we will explore the profound social impact that closing the digital divide can have on Malaysian communities.

Bridging this divide is not only a matter of social justice but also essential for creating opportunities and driving progress. Here are five ways you can make a significant difference in bridging the digital divide:

Malawi, a country in southeastern Africa, grapples with this challenge as it strives to provide equal opportunities for its citizens. Let's delve into the numbers and statistics that underscore the digital divide in Malawi, shedding light on the urgency of bridging this gap.

In this blog post, Aria Systems, an official supporter of unconnected.org, explores the issue of the global digital divide and the efforts being made to address it. Despite technological advancements that have expanded internet access, nearly half of the world's population still lacks connectivity. This divide is not limited to underdeveloped regions, as even advanced nations like the United States face significant gaps in broadband connectivity. The lack of access to the internet hinders communities from benefiting from modern healthcare, education, and job opportunities. However, the global technology community recognizes this problem and has introduced various programs to bridge the digital divide. The post highlights some examples of how technology companies, both large and small, are working to increase broadband availability and provide devices to those in need.

As digital transformation accelerates and reliance on technology increases, the need to address the problem of access will become even more pronounced. It is incumbent on the broader CSP community to understand the critical role it can play in closing the divide, and to make the necessary investments that will ultimately deliver both connectivity and opportunity to all.

The world is rapidly becoming more digital, and access to technology and the internet is becoming increasingly important for people to participate fully in society and the economy. Unfortunately, not everyone has equal access to these resources, and this can have a significant impact on a country's GDP.

CSR involves a range of activities, including philanthropy, volunteerism, and sustainability initiatives. Companies that embrace CSR often enjoy benefits such as improved reputation, increased customer loyalty, and better employee engagement.

Last week when I was home in Boston area, I sat in my living room, the wind howling outside and a mix of heavy snow and rain pouring down in torrents, I experienced something many of us dread in the modern world: a complete loss of power, internet, and cell service.

This particular experience led me to reflect not only on how much I take ubiquitous internet access for granted, but also on the challenges faced by 45% of people worldwide who remain unconnected.
