Communinet is a Mitchell’s Plain based non-profit tech organisation that wishes to empower communities with the supply of broadband internet. Their main objective is to make high speed reliable internet access a reality for all. Currently the start-up cost for a reliable broadband internet is too expensive for average residents living on the Cape flats and most areas outside the major metropolitan city centers. Their goal is to alter the mind-set of those in less fortunate
circumstances, from one of dependence to empowerment. Access to information is crucial in today’s society and can be considered part of their evolution. The internet has a host of benefits, and has the potential to improve disfavoured economic areas and stimulate growth. Internet access has become a vital part of everyday life and has been revolutionary in the way information is shared on a global scale. Communinet would like to use this fantastic tool to assist learners in the Mitchell’s Plain area to broaden their learning experience and allow them to have a hand in their future.
