MANILA, Philippines — Globe and charity institution unconnected.org have signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) which would facilitate sustainable internet connectivity to remote and underserved schools across the Philippines.

Under the partnership, Globe said hard-to-reach schools will be equipped with satellite-based internet services and essential infrastructure to power digital learning and expand access to critical online government services.

“This project is a testament to Globe’s commitment to sustainable connectivity and digital inclusion,” Senior Director Gerhard P. Tan, Globe’s Technology Strategy & Innovations head, said.

Tan stressed that this would ensure that Filipino learners wherever they may be, gain access to quality education supported by reliable connectivity.

He cited the significance of Globe’s collaboration with unconnected.org in empowering schools and communities to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

“Connectivity is not just about technology; it’s about equity. We believe that bringing the internet to these schools will unlock opportunities and inspire a future where no student is left behind,” he said.

Benjz Gerard Sevilla, unconnected.org country general manager, said that the partnership represents a shared mission of digital equity.

“No digital poverty, that’s the heart of this partnership,” Sevilla said.

“By leveraging each other’s strengths, we can drive meaningful connectivity to rural schools and disadvantaged communities, giving students opportunities that only connectivity can provide. We thank Globe for giving us this platform to reach more lives and champion digital inclusion,” he added.

Unconnected.org, a global nonprofit entity, focuses on connecting communities excluded from the digital economy by empowering local entrepreneurs to build and operate telecom infrastructure.

Its mission directly complements Globe’s drive to deliver inclusive, sustainable, and innovative digital solutions for Filipinos, Sevilla said.

The partnership focuses on rolling out community networks that will help bridge critical gaps in both education and economic participation.

Students in remote schools will gain access to e-learning platforms, digital tools, and updated online resources, ensuring they are not left behind in the global shift toward digital learning. Teachers, in turn, can improve their teaching methods, collaborate with peers, and access up-to-date content to enrich classroom experiences., This news data comes from:http://cdob.jyxingfa.com

Beyond the classroom, the initiative extends benefits to entire communities, according to Globe.

Reliable internet access opens doors to livelihood opportunities, digital marketplaces, and public services, broadening economic prospects and enabling residents to participate more actively in the digital economy, it said.

With Globe providing fast network infrastructure and connectivity solutions, and unconnected.org championing community empowerment and sustainability, the partnership seeks to create long-term impact on education, equity, and digital inclusion across the Philippines, Tan and Sevilla said.
