GEEKS Without Frontiers

Global Vision

Our goal is to positively impact the lives of one billion people in the next ten years through the use of technology led social enterprise.

The GEEKS Mission Statement

Focusing on humanity's real challenges, GEEKS will leverage the skills of technology leaders, utilize open source software, develop applications for communications, education and commerce, and in conjunction with the Manna Energy Foundation, collaborate on global renewable energy, and clean water projects.

GEEKS' first major project is the development of a low cost, open source, WiFi network sponsored by Google and the Tides Foundation. This is a major step in the direction of affordable broadband for all, capable of bringing tremendous economic and social benefits to millions, especially in areas where legacy broadband models have not been considered to be economical.

GEEKS' leadership is strategically located in Silicon Valley and Los Angeles and, together with the GEEKS international Board of Advisers, have access to the developers of leading edge technologies and innovations which have the potential for meaningful global impact.
