In 2020 Kiwix had more than 4 million users in 200+ countries and territories. The work we do is partially provided by volunteers, partially funded by individual donations and grants from foundations. We do not sell ads, nor do we collect any data from our users. Our software is open-source and available for free. For the end user it feels pretty much like a regular browser as the experience is almost identical to browsing the source website(s). Kiwix supports a wide range of systems and architectures. If you want a better integration in your system, an additional installer is mostly provided. You can copy the Kiwix directory and put it wherever you want: your hard disk, your USB flash drive or a DVD. The Kiwix reader runs on almost any device (mobile phones, computers, etc.). Kiwix is a portable application you dont need to install in order to use it. We can copy text, images, videos, just like the original thing – but highly compressed so that they are easy to share and distribute, for instance on a flash drive or microSD card, or broadcast on inexpensive hotspots. The solution – how does it work?įounded more than 10 years ago, Kiwix can compress any website (even large ones like Wikipedia, the Gutenberg project or Stack Exchange) into unique content packages (zim files). The Kiwix project can help address these barriers by making affordable educational content accessible to people without online access. Cost: many people with low or no income simply cannot afford to pay for data.Lack of Infrastructures: in many remote or rural areas or refugee camps internet is often slow, unreliable, or not available at all.
Half of the world -four billion people – can not reliably use the Internet. Did you know that you could store the entirety of Wikipedia on your phone? And read it anywhere, at anytime? The challenge
