eRise is rising to tackle the problem of Internet connectivity for less privileged communities through the Toki Server project. The aim of the project is to provide and empower one billion people for the next five years.

Toki Servers are WI-FI ready servers costing about $50 which can run on both AC power, or on batteries for up-to 72 hours and can handle 500 concurrent connections. These servers are placed in the private residences of Toki “Mayors”, who are responsible for maintaining and managing the servers.

Recently we announced our approach to sponsor special and non-profit initiatives for an online presence. With the eRise empowerment grants, you can get free domain name, web hosting, among others. This is our means of saving you the cost of getting a working website for your project.

eRise.org in cooperation with international domain name registrar Epik.com is training people how to be successful domain investors. A free course called DomainGraduate.com, is now in multiple languages.In addition to the free online course, empowerment grants and interest-free loans empower graduates to get started.
