ISLET Connect Launches in Cuaming Island

The ISLET Connect Project on the island of Cuaming has commenced! Cuaming, a small but densely populated island barangay of the Municipality of Inabanga, Bohol, is the final phase of the Inabanga project. A social preparation was conducted at the multi-purpose hall of Barangay Cuaming, which involved an overview of the project and engagement with residents and barangay officials, ensuring that the community’s needs and inputs were integral to the project’s development. Subsequently, the deployment and installation of infrastructures were done from May 27 to 29, 2025, laying the groundwork for enhanced connectivity.

The ISLET Connect project is an initiative by the CVISNET Foundation, in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Bohol, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Inabanga, and Unconnected. It was officially launched on August 15, 2024, with a ceremonial event held at the Inabanga Municipal Hall. The launch brought together key officials and personnel from LGU Inabanga, as well as representatives from various barangays, including Lawis, Cagawasan, Cambitoon, Baogo, and Cuaming, all of whom gathered to witness this innovative project.

ISLET Connect’s main objective is to establish a robust and reliable internet connectivity system across the targeted barangays in Inabanga, Bohol. This initiative aims to bridge the digital divide and empower local communities by providing essential internet access, which is vital for education, communication, and economic opportunities in today's increasingly digital world.
