Digital Village is a non-profit organization (section 21 company) committed to providing free or affordable next generation internet connectivity to the Garden Route community.

Do you believe that fast, reliable, high quality internet should be a basic human right just like services such as water, electricity and sanitation?

If you do, you are already supporting the dream of Digital Village!

We are connecting needy communities and social organisations to our next generation network for free. This will enable entrepeneurs to start new innovative businesses and will enable community organisations to enter the digital age.

We are committed to connecting all the schools in the region to our next generation network. This will open up countless opportunities to those whom have never experienced internet access
