ABOUT AFRICA ICT RIGHT
Africa ICT Right (AIR) is an ICT-oriented nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the digital divide by building a more equitable and technologically advanced future for all. AIR uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools as a catalyst to address critical national issues in Ghana related to agriculture, health, gender, education, and youth empowerment.
AIR was founded on the belief that the modern world is undergoing a profound technological revolution in which personal computers, mobile phones, and Internet technologies play critical roles, but that there is significant inequality in the distribution of these tools, which is harmful not only to underserved communities, but also to our society.
We partner with donors, public and private institutions, NGOs and local communities to address this detriment through our integrated development programs that provide technological solutions and support to educational and health facilities especially in less privileged areas where the digital gap is most pronounced.
