Kiwix is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland which aims to make online content accessible for people without internet access, regardless of the reason. The project now provides open-source software for free which allows whole websites, like
Wikipedia, to be compressed into content packages and then stored locally so they can be read on almost any device. One download at a central internet access point (school, university, tourist spot) can then be transferred offline from one user to the next, either from USB key to computer, or from computer to phone. The Governement of Cuba has rolled out Kiwix across all internet centers on the island. Some NGOs in North Korea use Kiwix to bring Wikipedia to the country. Ghana, uses Kiwix to provide access to Wikipedia and Wiktionary to schools in the North of the country. See
