Empowering Youth
Only a quarter of the world today is able to use the Web, and benefit from its power. Among the other three quarters of the population, most live on less than few dollars a day, are fighting for their basic needs, and have poor access to life-critical services.
The Web Foundation and Center for Digital Inclusion will work together to train young people living in impoverished sections of major cities in Latin America, the Middle East and elsewhere how to develop Web applications that work on simple mobile phones, and how to use the power of the Web to improve their lives.
