Zenzeleni Community Networks, South Africa's pioneering rural community-owned Internet Service Provider, is transforming connectivity in the Eastern Cape region. Living up to its isiXhosa name meaning "Do it yourself," Zenzeleni provides affordable internet access while empowering local communities to become active participants in the digital age. Through its innovative model, the organization combines internet service provision with digital literacy support and device access, making the internet a community-driven resource rather than a luxury.
