The Center for Digital inclusion (CDI) is a nonprofit organization that uses technology to fight poverty and stimulate entrepreneurship. CDI and partners create community centers in low-income, rural, indigenous communities, hospitals, prisons, and psychiatric clinics. These centers work to strengthen low-income communities by providing access to information and communication technologies. ==Overview== Rodrigo Baggio founded the ''Comitê para Democratização da Informática'' (roughly translated as "Committee for Democracy in Information Technology" in the Portuguese language) in 1995. Its plan was social entrepreneurship to overcome the digital divide. CDI is a network of self-managed and self-sustaining CDI Community Centers throughout Brazil and 13 other countries – monitored and coordinated by their 23 regional offices.〔http://www.cdi.org.br〕 Schools are located in low-income communities, indigenous communities, psychiatric clinics, hospitals for mentally and physically disabled, and detention facilities. CDI is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, with operations in the US, Europe and Latin America. CDI helps disadvantaged groups use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). CDI community centers are technology and learning centers in impoverished communities. Each community center is a partnership with an existing grassroots organization. The community-based organizations provide the infrastructure, and CDI provides free computers and software, implements educational methods, trains instructors and monitors the schools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center for Digital Inclusion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
