About Our Foundation
The Basic Internet Foundation is on the mission to connect the future. We believe that the unconnected need to be empowered with information on the internet to shape their future.
We implement projects around the world in the fields of access to internet, education, health care, and women entrepreneurship.
Our Priority:
Short Time to Value
• Connect as many users as soon as possible
• Affordable access (20 USD/month)
• Scale up: InfoSpot - mobile broadband - Community / Commercial Networks
Our Goal
Free Access To Information For Every Human. To reach this goal, we need three fundamental things:
Establish Internet Access points ("InfoSpots") in every community and school.
Define information that must be available for every human being, including "Digital Public Goods“.
Add free access to information and Digital Public Goods for every human.
