ABOUT THE CHAPTER
A Yemeni community for an Internet that serves everyone
A registered not-for-profit chapter based in Sana’a, working to advance the Internet Society’s goals in Yemen and contribute to its regional and global mission.
Our origin and mission
ISOC Yemen was founded and officially registered with the Internet Society in August 2013, following the work of Yemeni Internet and information-technology experts seeking to improve Internet services and their use in Yemen.
The chapter sees the Internet as a resource for opportunity, collaboration, learning and innovation, and works to turn that potential into local dialogue and initiatives.
