Nearly 30 years ago, the Cisco Foundation set out with a simple belief: that technology can unlock opportunity and help communities thrive.
Looking back on the past fiscal year, what stands out most to me isn’t just the numbers, it’s the creativity, resilience, and dedication of our partners.
Trek Medics International expanded its mobile-first platform, Beacon, facilitating over 42,000 emergency responses worldwide.
FINCA International Ventures accelerated tech-led social enterprises across Ghana, Zambia, and Kenya, helping them scale and deepen impact.
Raspberry Pi Foundation reached classrooms in rural India and refugee camps in Africa, inspiring the next generation of technology creators.
Digital Green’s AI-powered FarmerChat has supported over 460,000 farmers since 2021.
Hohonu’s easy to install flood detection system provides real-time data to support better decision making and action across 18 U.S. states.
These stories show what’s possible when technology meets human ingenuity. Our partners are using AI and other digital solutions to increase efficiency, scale solutions, and forge lasting collaborations. By deepening our technical advisory services, providing flexible support, and fostering connections, we aim to strengthen their long-term impact.
I hope you’ll take a moment to explore our FY25 Cisco Foundation Report and see how together, we are building a world where communities thrive in the digital age.
