"Indonesia is a country ripe with potential but only very few people get a shot to prove themselves. I hope this will give them that opportunity."

Desa Interlinked is an initiative I created to provide internet access to rural parts of Indonesia. The initiative's main focus is to allow the marginalized to better their lives.

Through the implementation of satellite transmission systems in disconnected rural villages and a self-sustaining economic model, I digitized communities in partnership with a private Indonesian satellite company, Pasifik Satelit Nusantara, to provide more opportunities to grow economically and financially.

As of today, we have successfully raised 200 million IDR, helping connect 12 villages in the Island province of Nusa Tenggara Timur to the internet. My hope is to grow this project to other rural and underprivileged regions of Indonesia.
