Empowering offline communities anywhere information can transform lives
Knapsack’s unique satellite file-casting technology delivers digital content to locations otherwise disconnected due to remote geography, Internet shutdowns or high costs.
4 in 10 people don’t have access to the internet.
Information and communication technologies are at the heart of social and economic inclusion today. They have the power to break barriers and transform lives. We believe everyone should have equal access to information, regardless of their geographical, cultural or economic status.
Our mission is to provide quality life-transforming digital content in the easiest, most efficient, and fastest way possible for those with limited or no Internet access.
Knapsack for Hope's unique file-casting technology leverages common satellite TV equipment to deliver digital content without relying on Internet access.
