At Cisco, we believe in a world with equal access to opportunity. A world in which people and communities are inspired to get closer to our collective challenges, rather than shy away. A world in which businesses operate with all aspects of society in mind, not just the majority.

With the demand for connectivity and broadband internet becoming increasingly more critical to our everyday lives, we want to provide the opportunity for everyone to participate by connecting the unconnected.

Please join us in donating to one or more of these wonderful organizations that provide broadband and connectivity to students to further their education and help us bridge the digital divide.

Big or small, remember every single donation counts. Please donate as much as you can, to as many as you want to.

We look forward to sharing our impact stories with you!

Internet for Impoverished Myanmar Students

by Burmese American Community Institute Inc

Thousands of students in Myanmar have been forced out of school due to the February 2021 military coup, COVID-19, and intensifying violence in the country. While the population in general faces a humanitarian crisis, millions of youth do not have access to education. This project will enable around 400 Myanmar youth access to quality online learning programs for their future academic and career success, at the National University of the Union of Myanmar (NUUM).
