Foundation Projects
Equal Access to Information Society in Myanmar (second phase)
Myanmar Book Aid and Preservation Foundation
This project will help the Myanmar Book Aid and Preservation Foundation combine and scale three programs: Mobile Information Literacy, Tech Age Girls Myanmar, and the Business Startup Development Program.
The Beyond Access project has already equipped 210 libraries around Myanmar with Internet, enabling 360,000 people to use a digital device for the first time. Telco Ooredoo Myanmar will invest in an additional 40 community libraries, mostly in underserved or unserved areas.
This impact grant will focus on equipping thousands of participants — primarily youth and women — at these 40 additional community libraries to develop digital literacy skills.
An earlier phase of this project was supported with an ISIF Asia grant, and also received an ISIF Asia award.
