The digital divide: Has it created an economic chasm in your community? Has it hindered and stymied job retention and growth? Has it put an extra burden on already strained education systems? How can your community solve this econo-edu-techno-gap when many pressing needs compete for scarce resources? How will your community make sure every home, every student and resident does not face this crippling gap when enterting their home, business, or classroom? How to do all this when local, state, and federal resources cannot bridge today's reality over the technofissure to tomorrow's demands and needs? Hardware4Humanity works with you to set up the framework, teaches you what needs doing and how to do it, then makes sure you can teach others the same skill sets making this a sustainable model. Just as importantly it shows you the business model that requires no grants, loans, or government assistance. Hardware4Humanity doesn't just teach, it shows communities how to teach using local skills and bringing together divergent interests for the benefit of the entire community. This results in a self-sustaining active, community that bridges the digital divide and builds a local structure to keep this economic stimulus going indefinitely without outside aid or outside consultants.
