Giga - An initiative by UNICEF and ITU

Giga's mission is to connect every school to the Internet and every young person to information, opportunity and choice. We develop open-source software and data to drive universal school connectivity. Donations, facilitated by UNICEF Switzerland, will directly support our open-source projects. Contribute today, engage with our repositories, or advocate for this cause to help ensure all students have the digital access they deserve.

Advocate for universal connectivity for students

Giga maps schools and their connectivity levels, and advocates for universal connectivity through its publicly accessible map- GigaMaps. It also helps target investment to where it is most needed and measure progress toward increasing Internet access. You can also advocate for universal connectivity by spreading awareness about digital inequity through GigaMaps.

Contribute to Giga's open-source products

Giga builds open-source software and critical datasets to achieve universal school connectivity. As a developer, you can contribute to them or build on top, or as a data nerd, you can use the open source to publish insights that can support school connectivity initiatives.
