Our Mission
Our Vision
We use technology to protect digital rights, reconnect people to the world, and give Afghans the tools to learn, communicate, and thrive.
An Afghanistan where access to information and technology creates opportunities, education, and dignity even in the face of censorship.
Isn’t Starlink already available in Afghanistan?
Only in very limited, unofficial ways
Some Afghans have been able to buy Starlink kits on the grey market (brought in from abroad).
Terminals may work by connecting through roaming plans from nearby countries.
But this access is expensive, unstable, and inaccessible to the majority of Afghans.
Don’t Silence Afghanistan
Access to the internet is a humanitarian lifeline. Teachers, journalists, schools, and everyday Afghans need safe, reliable connections to survive and stay informed.
​
The Taliban have now issued warnings and called for arrests of people using Starlink or other satellite internet services — cutting communities off from the world.
How Shutdowns Work
What Works Against Them
When fiber and Wi-Fi are cut, millions of Afghans are pushed into digital darkness. But layered strategies — VPNs, mesh networks, and satellite internet — can keep people connected to education, opportunity, and the world.
How Shutdowns Work

Authorities order providers to shut off access.
Fiber and cell towers are disabled.
Intentional outages create an information vacuum.
What Works Against Them
Starlink / Satellite: Internet from space.
VPN / Anti-Censorship : Evade some blocks with encryption.
Mesh Networks: Devices connect locally to share connectivity.
