Overview
Open Internet Access in Crises is a mission to ensure digital inclusion when disruption strikes. This effort funds open access initiatives that keep networks reachable and information flowing, even during outages or emergencies. By supporting this project, you help sustain critical infrastructure, advocate for open protocols, and empower communities to stay informed, connected, and resilient.
Open Internet Access in Crises envisions a world where critical information remains accessible and where communities can coordinate, learn, and participate despite disruption. The project focuses on practical tools, collaborative networks, and resilient deployments that work across borders and languages. Your generosity helps translate ambition into real, lasting capability for people who rely on connectivity as a lifeline.
Why Your Support Matters
Open Internet Access in Crises relies on community backing to expand coverage beyond central hubs. Your support helps reach libraries, shelters, schools, and small networks that often go unseen but serve the most vulnerable during crises. This project aligns with a shared commitment to digital rights and practical access for all.
- Preserve open access to information for communities in crisis
- Strengthen local networks and mesh deployments for redundancy
- Support multilingual, accessible tools that work offline when needed
- Fund transparent reporting so supporters can see impact
With continued backing, Open Internet Access in Crises expands its reach to underserved regions, pilots low-cost connectivity options, and partners with educators, nonprofits, and technologists who believe in a free and reliable internet as a public good. This is not a temporary fix; it is a framework for durable digital inclusion that grows with communities and challenges.
How Donations Are Used
Donations fund ongoing development, hosting, and outreach. For Open Internet Access in Crises, contributions support four core areas: software maintenance and feature development, infrastructure hosting and bandwidth, training and outreach to community networks, and governance and audits to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Software maintenance and feature development for open connectivity tools
- Infrastructure hosting, bandwidth, and disaster resilient deployments
- Outreach, training, and multilingual documentation
- Independent audits, governance, and public reporting
We aim for measurable progress visible to contributors, including uptime metrics, deployment counts, and the expansion of multilingual resources. Open Internet Access in Crises tracks milestones in a public-facing manner and welcomes periodic reviews from the community to refine priorities and validate impact.

Transparency And Trust
Open Internet Access in Crises is committed to integrity and clarity. We publish accessible funding reports, public roadmaps, and open metrics that show how resources are spent and what outcomes are achieved. The project maintains transparent governance and invites ongoing feedback from participants and partners around the world.
Public ledgers, regular progress updates, and independent reviews help ensure accountability. By design, this page is a living document that evolves with community input, translating donations into tangible improvements in connectivity, literacy, and empowerment during crises.
