Wireless Ghana helps to make Internet access in rural communities a reality.

Wireless Ghana is a project of Community-Based Libraries and Information Technology (CBLit), a non-government organization based in both Ghana and the United States. The Wireless Ghana project is a rural project.

It was initiated at the Apirede Resource Center (CBLit’s first Community Resource Center) in 2005 in response to the local community’s requests for connectivity to help them break their isolation, move their children and community closer to the 21st century, and be competitive with their urban counterparts.
