Everything changed for Tagia and her family when they received a laptop and low-cost internet from Human-I-T.
Suddenly, they could do things like find and apply for better-paying jobs, attend school online, and become civically engaged with their community – all because of the support of our donors.
This Giving Tuesday, donate to Human-I-T to empower families like Tagia’s with the digital tools and connectivity they need to unlock their full potential.
When you give to Human-I-T, 100% of your donation goes directly to funding digital inclusion programs in America’s most disconnected communities.
At Human-I-T, we promote four pillars of digital inclusion: affordable devices, low-cost internet access, digital skills training, and tech support for communities on the wrong side of the digital divide.
Collectively, these services move us toward a future in which all individuals and communities have the information and technology they need for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy.
Right now, 163 million Americans lack access to personal technology and high-speed internet at home. You can change that right now. By donating to drive digital equity, you’re empowering hundreds of millions of people to live their best lives. At-risk youth achieve higher grades and are less likely to drop out. Senior citizens lead healthy lives into old age. Single parents raise their wages and their standard of living. Communities become more equitable.
When students have access to digital technology, they’re able to complete schoolwork without relying on public Wi-Fi and explore their hobbies and interests. Simply put: they thrive in and out of the classroom.
America’s least-connected counties have a 25% higher prevalence of obesity and a 41% higher prevalence of diabetes. Driving digital equity will do more than just transform the lives of people who live in these communities – it will save them.
Digitally-connected workers earn wages that are, on average, between 3 and 5% higher than their digitally-disconnected colleagues. When workers’ wages rise, so does their standard of living, quality of life, and likelihood to open a business of their own.
You know what they say: isolated investments lead to isolated impacts. Our monthly donors have already transformed thousands of lives by providing access to low-cost digital technology, affordable internet, and more. Join our movement to grow your impact beyond Giving Tuesday. You’re going to fit right in.
