I can't think of a higher leverage way to help someone in life than giving them
internet access.

LENNY RACHITSKY

Author, Investor

The most cost-efficient way to boost socioeconomic growth? Connectivity,
GiveInternet.org would tell you.

...Many reasons behind the disparity but according to GiveInternet they all boil
down to affordability. 




OUR MISSION

1.1 billion students can’t afford internet access. 52% are girls.

We exist to make it simple and transparent for anyone to sponsor internet access
and laptops for students in need, allowing them to access global knowledge and
equal opportunities.


WHY WE EXIST

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What exactly will the students receive?


A personal laptop, an Internet connection throughout their years in school, free
access to educational resources, mentorship from the team, and training
opportunities. 

How will my money be spent?


You control how your money is spent. You choose what to sponsor (Internet
access, laptops, or both), you can choose the country you want to sponsor, and
you can allocate a portion of your donation to our administrative
expenses (staff salaries, marketing and growth costs, etc.). Whatever's left is
spent on Internet fees and laptop costs for students in our partner country.
Each month you will receive updates with student achievements, bank statements
and transparency reports.

How do you provide connectivity?


We collaborate with partners on the ground - NGOs who work with high school
students in need. Once a student is equipped with a laptop, local internet
service providers equip the family with Internet access upon the family's
request and with the help of our local partner if needed. Your monthly donations
cover the Internet fees throughout the student's years in school. 

Can I cancel or modify my donation?


Of course! At any time, you can log into your account and modify or cancel your
donation or payment methods. Normally we process monthly transactions on the 5th
of every month. We will send you an email if there's an issue with your donation
so be on the lookout.
