Breaking the digital divide

Access to technology and digital resources has become a vital aspect of modern life, but not everyone has equal access to these tools. The digital divide is the gap that exists between those who have access to technology and those who do not. The PS43 Foundation is committed to breaking this divide and ensuring that everyone has access to digital resources.

Through our various programs and initiatives, we work to provide access to technology and digital resources to underserved communities, including low-income families, rural communities, and individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in the digital age, and we are working hard to make that a reality.
Join us in our mission to break the digital divide and ensure that everyone has access to the tools they need to succeed in the modern world.

    “The more we look at the changes in the world, the root is always technology. I want to help young people see that they have a role to play in the advancement of technology no matter the barriers they face.”
