Why N50 Project
Connectivity is just the start. We focus on tech-neutral connectivity, literacy, language, and convening partners to deliver human-enriching applications around education, healthcare, agriculture, and local entrepreneurship. We believe this model in partnership with private enterprise is the opportunity to scale. No one company can do this on their own.

The centers will include device charging capability, access to laptops and necessary equipment to support access to vital information about resources available in close proximity, including shelter, food, water and telehealth services.
