ClosingTheDivide Feature on Aspen Institute

Abhinav Bellapu, Zakaria Kortam, and Gaurish Agrawal have watched many of their friends struggle to access the internet. Dismayed at the digital divide in their own backyard, they have been striving to solve this problem, both at home and abroad. Together, they direct a nonprofit called ClosingTheDivide, focused on collecting used electronic devices, refurbishing them, and then donating them to low-income families and students.
