Here is YODET Story
It all began in 2015 when the internet was a threat of being disconnected all over the country, we sensed the value of being online for non-profits, activists, and students, Therefore, we established YNEXT our first project that performed as an intervention project during conflicts. Read more
When internet disconnection did not become the biggest threat, our project had to shift and add to its path, and we became more of development through technology and internet governance defenders. At the time YNEXT continued to operate, we added programs that promote cybersecurity, ICT entrepreneurship and women in tech projects.
During our time of operation, we helped more than 40,000 people to access the internet, trained more than 2360 individuals to stay safe on the internet, equipped 150 girls with sufficient tools to become productive online, and created an environment for more than 70 startups to thrive.
Exchange Technology
In modern life, internet access is no longer a luxury, It is a must and a basic human right. At YODET, we understand how critical an internet connection can be to NGOs, businesses and even individuals, especially during times of conflict. Therefore, we run full packages of programs to provide and defend the right to access the internet safely, openly and continuously.
Empowering
ICT is all about possibilities and opportunities. While at YODET we provide reliable internet connection; we provide the perfect atmosphere for ICT entrepreneurs to flourish. We incubate their startups in our accelerator and make sure they get the right kind of aid at the right stage of their journey.
Humanity
While the internet must be open to everyone, no one's safety and privacy should be threatened under any circumstances. At YODET, we execute different programs, events and services to raise awareness and defend cybersecurity. Our programs cover the full spectrum of internet users starting from doers and influencers but not ending with women and kids.
