About Us
Since October 2023 people in Gaza have been cut off from the internet by Israeli bombing and blocking. Almost every photo you have seen from Gaza since then has come through an eSIM, a virtual SIM card, which connects people to the internet. Connecting Humanity have provided over 450,000 eSIMs to people in Gaza through donations.
Connecting Humanity is run by Mirna El Helbawi and her team of volunteers.
Mirna talking to Al Jazeera about the project.
In September of 2024 Mirna has received the Electronic Frontier Foundation Award for her efforts in sending over 450,000 eSIMs, equivalent to 10 Million USD.
