The YONOSE Foundation was formed as a non-profit organization to apply basic existing technologies to the solution of problems faced by geographically isolated and/or technologically challenged communities. The problems addressed cover a wide range of issues, but are focused on health, economic, environmental, and educational concerns.

Within these parameters, we operate to expand the use of renewable resources and economically viable technologies and to foster the independence and self-sufficiency of the populations with which we interact.

Limited scope operations such as we engage in are not common, since they involve modest goals, small populations, and neither patent bearing research nor the mass consumption of goods or services. In this respect, we believe that we fill a unique role in developing adaptive methods and serving populations not otherwise served in this way.

The Projects page has been updated with the addition of the Multicultural Book Initiative. (2008-11-08)
