What we do

Access to information is not a luxury – it is essential for development in all communities. We believe Access to information leads directly to Access to more and better Opportunity

Using a combination of low cost technology, sustainable business models and partner content, The Initiative Foundation enables local partners in under-served communities around the world to establish the means to provide affordable broadband access to everyone.

September 1, 2004: New Cambodia Project!

The Initiative Foundation and Dickon Verey have started a project in Cambodia centred around a community centre in Ksach Poy which is near Battambang. For those who have supported this effort thus far, we thank you. The Cambodian project will have a page of its own in the coming weeks, please come back and see the project's progress!
August update  
Namibia || Our project in Namibia is reaching independence. We have had a good first two years and have learned much. In September, we will post our report and plans for the fourth quarter and beyond. Russia || Sergiev Posad Connect has reached sustainability. We recently upgraded the network to Smartbridges and have seen a significant improvement in quality of service. Victor and the team continue to build connections to outlying communities.
