Our story
OUR STORY

Founded on a Vision of Technological Equity

Inspire Foundation was established in 2013 with a simple yet powerful mission: to ensure that the benefits of technological innovation are accessible to all people, regardless of their background, location, or economic circumstances.

What began as a small initiative with just three team members has grown into a global foundation supporting over 120 technology projects across 15 countries, impacting the lives of more than 15,000 people.

Our journey has been guided by the belief that technology, when harnessed responsibly and inclusively, has the power to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges.
