Inveneo: Bridging the Digital Gap

Over 2 billion people in the developing world have very limited access to communications in any form. Inveneo, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, seeks to bridge the digital gap in developing nations with ultra-low power computing, long distance wifi, and solar energy harnessed in small villages.  The triumphs of Silicon Valley and the latest renewable energy technologies are being realized in nations like Bangladesh, Haiti, and Uganda.  Communities no longer have to depend on power grids that experience regular rolling blackouts.  Schools go on uninterrupted. 

Inveneo also trains people to maintain the communication systems so a country's economy benefits in job creation. Access to the world via internet promotes a democracy mindset in developing nations and  empowers healthcare and educational organizations.  Find out more about Inveneo's projects by visiting their website.
