Thank you!

Our challenge is to join the members of the telecommunications and information technology industries along with other philanthropists in raising enough funds to send teams of volunteers to Haiti for the next 6 months to help build a Wi-Fi network that will increase communications among the government, the police, and civilians. This network will improve the lives of Haitians and help facilitate the rebuilding after the earthquake.

We need your support!

There are many possibilities for partnerships. If you are interested in working with us or learning more about the project budget and needs, please contact us.
