Guarantee Internet Access for Mayan Ixil Youth

NovaNet continues with the vision to connect the Maya Ixil population of Chajul, Guatemala with all people, all the time, via high-quality, locally-owned high speed internet service. This new year of 2023 has already started strongly, by maintaining accessibility and increasing the speed of the internet service in the community.

And your contributions are beginning to help us broaden our reach, with a focus on supporting schools to have high-speed internet connections to support their learning objectives. We have delivered modems and necessary connection devices to a local middle school, the National Institute of Secondary Education (“INEB”). NovaNet technicians are currently working on the installation, so that when the students return to study in 2023 (a new school year for them), they will have high speed internet action in their computer lab. 

The computer teacher, Maria Elicia S., together with the INEB’s Director, Elias A. report: We appreciate the support that the NovaNet project gives us in our municipality of Chajul, we recognize that it is one of the first to provide Internet services for the entire community. As well, they are the first to seek avenues to provide direct support for our middle school students and institutes. Lack of internet access is a debilitating factor for the educational system in our community. On the contrary, access to high speed internet fosters learning, and allows for improved education for our students, who are the future professionals of our community. Thanks to all who have contributed, and please know that 100% of our students will benefit from this critical service. 

Your contributions are helping to provide reliable, wireless Internet access to schools in Chajul. We are grateful for your support!
