unconnected.org and charityphilippines.org Deliver Internet Access to Remote School in Quezon

unconnected.org and charityphilippines.org, a Philippine based crowdfunding platform, deliver connectivity in a remote school in General Nakar, Quezon.

Makalya Elementary School can be considered located in a geographically isolated and disadvantaged area. As such, commercial telecommunications coverage is not readily available for use by both students and teachers.

A crowdfunding drive was listed online to support such a cause. unconnected.org covered the cost of the satellite kit as well as its shipping, while charityphilippines.org personally witnessed the turn-over and set-up of connectivity.
