Fixing digital literacy and access to the web

Can you imagine what your life would be like without the internet? How would you get around? How would you keep in touch with your friends and family? Well, 37% of the world's population have never used the internet. That's nearly 3 billion people.

In this episode of Lets Fix It, we hear from two social innovators who are tearing down digital divides and bringing emerging technologies to their communities.

Mikaela Jade used to be a park ranger in Kakkadu National Park in Australia. These days, Mikaela is CEO of Indigital, a business that aims to help embed Indigenous stories and history into the mainstream, by using augmented reality technology.

Luvuyo Rani trained to be a teacher but quit his stable job and started selling old computers from the back of his car. Today he runs Silulo Ulutho Technologies – an organization that provides digital skills to thousands of people in the townships outside Cape Town every year.
