Our Mission
The CESC Foundation exists to connect schools, students, and communities with the tools and technology they need to thrive.
We focus on bridging digital and opportunity gaps by deploying connected classrooms, community labs, and resilient infrastructure.
We begin in rural Michoacán, Mexico — but the model is built to scale globally.
Our First Schools in Michoacán, Mexico
Each connected classroom receives:
- 5 refurbished Dell XE3/XE4 workstations + monitors
- Cisco & Fortigate secure networking
- Bilingual learning environment + standardized image
Cost per classroom: $5,000 USD
- $2,500 equipment
- $1,500 networking & cabling

Our first sponsor seeded the project with $10,000.

Gratitude
Special thanks to Hugo Hurtado, James, and everyone like us who has spent late nights hammering away on keyboards, stitching together the logistics, cables, configs, and code so that kids, parents, and grandparents can open a browser and see a bigger world.
Every network drop, every refurbished computer, and every line of code is a small act of faith in the future.
This work is only possible because of people like you who keep showing up, connecting cables, refurbishing devices, and believing in what education unlocks.
