Computer lab pilot testing in Talau, Neiafu, Vava'u, Tonga
PROJECT
Tukufonua ma ‘a Tonga is pilot testing the use of a small computer network lab in Talau, Neiafu, Vava'u, Tonga. The computer lab will comprise 10 Chromebook laptops, one projector, Modem, Wifi Router, a printer, and electrical components.
BACKGROUND
In 2013, the Kingdom of Tonga was connected with an underwater fiber-optic high-speed Internet cable to the rest of the world via Fiji Island. The Vava'u group is the second-largest group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga, connected by the miraculous power of the underwater fiber-optic high-speed Internet cable. Talau is one of the major towns in Vava'u equipped with a cellular tower located on Mount Talau. Talau town has a high school, intermediate school, and primary school. Unfortunately, these schools and most families are not able to provide sufficient computer laptops for students to access the Internet. Likewise, high school students have limited access to the use of computer laptops during school hours and zero access during after-school hours. Thus, providing laptop devices for students to use is a giant step for students to connect to online learning available on cloud computing.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to empower the use of the Internet in remote areas such as Talau town by contributing computer laptops for students to access online learning during after-school hours. The project will assist students with online exams, video tutorials, essay writing, senior projects research, and abroad scholarship opportunities search.

The distance relating to cellular communication from Neiafu to Falevai is represented by the red-line. The distance use by students for traveling by boat, twice a week on Sundays and Friday is represented by the black line. Families on these remote islands are not able to provide sufficient computer laptops for students to access the Internet. Thus, providing laptop devices for students to use is a giant step for students to connect to online learning available on cloud computing.

Your donations and contribution will help us to help the students in Vava'u improve the quality of their after-school learning and advocate higher education overseas. Likewise, we are committed to doing our business with accuracy and transparency. Therefore if you wish to help our vision but needed to claim your donations on your tax returns, our EIN is provided here for that purpose.
Although a taxpayer who has donated money to a charity needs the taxpayer identification (taxpayer ID) number from the nonprofit organization to get a tax deduction, TMT is currently not qualified as a nonprofit charity 501(c)(3) organization in the United States of America. However, we are working on that piece of our business structure by strategically applying to become an educational nonprofit 501(C)(3).
Our Employer Identification Number (EIN) from IRS is EIN 85-1201585. The purpose of this EIN is to identify TMT, Inc., our business accounts, tax returns, and documents, even if we do not have employees.
