Bridging the Digital Divide

Digital technology has created a new category of "haves and have-nots." While many in urban environments have benefited from access to the latest in digital technology — the internet, social media, mobile applications — rural areas lag far behind in exposure and access.

As the first step to bridge this gap, we plan to launch "Digital On Wheels," – an initiative in which volunteers literally transport the latest technological gadgets in vans to rural areas, giving youth first-hand exposure the interconnected digital world and inspiring them with greater possibilities.
