Richard Thanki, economist and computer scientist, has centered his tech startup Jangala around the question: how do we extend internet access to vulnerable populations? . Jangala, a UK based charity, enables internet access for people in need of urgent humanitarian aid, especially refugees.
Jangala was featured during Expo 2020 Dubai's Travel and Connectivity Week, where Richard - as a child of refugees from Uganda - spoke about his connection to the topic of connectivity for all, and his firm belief that the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.
