STRATEGIC IMPACT

Information Sovereignty:

· Education: Complete curriculum without internet
· Healthcare: Medical knowledge in remote areas
· Agriculture: Best practices without corporate influence
· Technology: Open-source blueprints for self-sufficiency

Community Empowerment:

· Local Economy: Barter systems and local markets
