Light of Hope with Interactive Center Powered by Internet

About This Project

Songjog Interactive Center project aims to bridge the digital divide in Bangladesh's underserved communities. Digital Interactive Centers provides ICT infrastructure & internet access to support digital learning, skill development, and socio-economic empowerment for residents, youth & schools.

The 'Light of Hope with Interactive Center Powered by Internet' is a flagship initiative of Songjog Foundation, developed in collaboration with the Internet Society Foundation. This project is dedicated to bridging the digital divide by establishing robust, community-focused Digital Interactive Centers in the most geographically challenged and underserved communities of Bangladesh.

Our primary focus is on remote and isolated regions, such as char (riverine land), hill-tract, and island areas, where access to basic ICT infrastructure and the internet is virtually non-existent. These centers are designed to be dynamic hubs for digital literacy, skill development, and socio-economic empowerment.

Our Mission: Illuminating Remote Communities

The core mission of the 'Light of Hope' project is to ensure that geography is not a barrier to opportunity. By providing first-ever internet access and digital resources to residents of remote areas, we aim to:

Foster Digital Inclusion

Provide equitable access to technology and information for marginalized populations.

Enhance Education

Offer digital learning resources to community-based schools and students.

Empower Youth

Equip students and young adults with essential digital, employability, and leadership skills.

Promote Social Development

Facilitate community-wide awareness sessions and workshops on vital topics like health, rights, and climate change adaptation.
