For communities in the developing world, access and connectivity are crucial channels to empowerment, entrepreneurship, support and driving development. In the 21st century, the digital divide and community sustainability and empowerment are intimately related. These values form the basis of The Initiative Foundation’s mission to connect developing communities.

While hundreds of thousands of communities across the developing world face this challenge, little in the way of appropriate expertise and experience exists to support them. This is the problem The Initiative Foundation sets out to address. We provide expertise in best practices, facilitate information sharing, communication and engagement for communities, and support projects on the ground through funding, expertise, resources and partnership.

Our capability and expertise as an organisation is focused on the development, dissemination and implementation of best practices in developing world community networks and on the implementation of these same ideas into real projects on the ground.
