According to educators and researchers, there is a huge difference whether a student has access to the internet at home or in a public place where access is limited. In terms of creativity having internet access whenever you need it and how long you need it makes a meaningful difference.
But this doesn't mean we only provide students with access. Sometimes we have projects where we connect educational community centers.

Thanks. Although I suspect more people might donate if they felt their donation helped 100 kids at a school, vs 1 kid at home. The "huge difference" might not be obvious, and I don't think it was in your FAQ.
It might be a fun experiment to let donors choose either school or individual.
(From your website: "In the poorest countries, only 1 out of every 10 students has Internet access at school.")
