Mission

A community connection brings ten computers with internet connection in to a remote area of the Mumbai city. We educate the inhabitants in how to use the computers and connect them with global world. 

 

Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai where explosive people, innovative ideas and entrepreneurial spirits are witnessed every day. Innovation, creativity and brightness are a natural part of everyday life. But the ideas are only seen in their own community.

 

So what is the missing link?

Knowledge on how to work with technology and social media in a beneficial way. What if education in those areas was for free, was thought in your own pace and driven by curiosity. 

 

How far would you go? 

How much would you learn? 

How could it change your life? 

 

We will educate the computer illiterate and make them a part of the global community and let them take part of the benefits that globalization brings.

 

Knowledge makes people free and open for development. Knowledge adds fuel to explosive people, innovative ideas and entrepreneurial spirits. Mumbai is a city which breaths creativity, innovation and freedom. Now is the time to act and make their ideas profitable. Today is the day you can make a difference.

How will we do this?

As a pilot project Dharavi a slum area in Mumbai, will be the place where we wish to educate the locals how to use the internet in a beneficial way. We will open an Internet centre consisting of ten computers. There will be free access to the computers as much as possible. On the computers there are education software installed on how to operate the computers and how to use internet.

 

This is what we want to achive: 

The end goal of this project is to connect this community with a microfinance solution where the computer centre becomes sustainable and a natural part of everyday business life in the community area.
