At LiteHaus International, we believe that bridging the digital divide is only possible through deep collaboration and shared purpose.
Our work is driven by three distinct yet equally vital partnerships. Our implementing partners, including schools, community organisations and local governments, help us deliver programs directly to those most in need.
Our funding partners, philanthropic trusts, foundations and businesses, provide the critical financial support that powers our mission. And our device donors, corporates, schools and government agencies, supply the technology that we repurpose into opportunity.
Together, these partnerships form the backbone of our impact, proving that meaningful change is always a collective effort.
