"Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this," said Dr. Martin Luther King. Join us! Let's make this world a brotherhood by bridging the Digital Divide through community service and involvement. "

Statement of Purpose:

Digital Divide Rotarians is formed to offer all like-minded Rotarians around the world the opportunity of service and fellowship in the interest of making an effort to bridge the Digital Divide that exists between various communities and nations around the world.

This group will work towards providing tools and infrastructure available for all humans, regardless of race, color, sex, religion, to have the opportunity take advantage of the wealth of information and resources that are available in digital form, including but not limited to such things as the Internet, digital telecommunications, digital photography, digital music, digital publishing, digital medical imaging, digital mapping, the global positioning system.

By subscribing to the philosophy behind the proverb, “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and eats for a lifetime”, this group believes that by giving all humans equal access to the information provided by the digital world, we can achieve great strides towards helping solve global problems such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence.
