Giga: Staking for school connectivity
Giga is a joint venture between UNICEF and the ITU with the mission of connecting all the world's schools to the internet. Over the past years, a novel approach to fund the ongoing operating expenses of school connectivity has been running as a pilot in Rwanda and Giga is currently scaling up operations.
