This past week, our team traveled to Accra, Ghana for the Africa Internet Governance Forum (#AfIGF).

There, we had conversations about meaningful connectivity, community-centered solutions, and protecting digital infrastructure. We connected with community members, partners, and our local chapter. We discussed funding opportunities, best practices, and challenges.

Thank you to everyone who attended our sessions and engaged with us this week. Together, we can build an Internet for everyone—in Africa and beyond.🌍
