The Mission of Bits2Bytes is to positively impact humanity by enabling a generation of tech-savvy students to compete in our global community (economy) through the delivery of pervasive Internet technologies.
Bits2Bytes provides pervasive Internet technologies to students of developing countries in the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia and Africa. These technologies are rapidly becoming a vital necessity to our global community. People who do not have the ability or the advantage to use or learn about these technologies will get left behind, economically and technologically. After we design, build and implement these Internet technologies the possibilities and opportunities that now become available are endless.
Our objectives are to:
Inspire the less fortunate students of our global community to dream of ways technology can enable their everyday life can create endless possibilities.
Connect students and people of different countries, cultures and experiences
Mentor students and teachers by providing a support system that fosters learning
Enable a generation of tech-savvy students and help them to provide an edge to their country for keeping up with rapidly changing technologies in the global community
Our Commitment to Humanity
After designing, building and implementing the network, we look forward to the possibilities and opportunities that now become endless to our recipients.
