Globalization has pulled billions of people into a dynamic, interconnected world where they benefit from unprecedented access to information, goods, services, jobs and opportunities. But even as those billions move into a powerful future, another billion are being left behind. Persistent poverty destabilizes both the countries where it exists and the world as a whole. The goal of the Riecken Foundation is to build a permanent bridge that allows the most vulnerable populations in Central America to cross into the global economy. To stimulate the region's human talent and advance its human capacity - a transformation that can only occur with unfettered access to information - the Foundation supports quality community lending libraries with free Internet connections. |
