Elizabeth and Jason decided to get on an airplane to Afghanistan a few weeks after meeting Roya, inspired by her work and the foundation's mission. Regardless of security issues and warnings, they embraced Afghanistan and Roya Mahboob's family, bringing back an amazing reportage of what has been done, will be done and could be done to change the world with Digital Literacy and Access. Friday, we had a small party at BitLanders' Manhattan headquarters to celebrate the new name of the Foundation: The Digital Citizen Fund, a new name that best describes the underlining mission of this organization: Digital Literacy, Sustainability and Community Building.

 

 

 

In addition to what Elizabeth and Jason shared on their article, I want to give some insight on what I see when it comes to community building and business opportunities associated to female users, especially from Afghanistan and other “Emerging Markets”.
