The Basic Internet Foundation
Connect the Unconnected: Envision a world of free access to information on health care, education or development.
Join our quest to make this vision a reality!
In order to Connect the Unconnected people of the World, the Basic Internet Foundation established the concept Internet Lite for All, the free access to information for everyone. In short
- Our vision is Internet Lite for All
- We promote and provide the Freemium model for access
- We build Information spots with free access to information, and premium access to broadband services
- Through Internet Lite for All we build the basis for Digital Inclusion and Societal Empowerment
- We see Digital Health as enabler for digital literacy, better knowledge on relevant health issues, and social entrepreneurship. Energy, digital and health together form the building blocks for sustainable development
