Cuba is the most disconnected country in our hemisphere. Only 400K people can visit the Web unrestricted, whereas 2,6M can only send and receive emails. We built Apretaste, a platform to access the web via email, and we offer web over email to more than 35K people in Cuba. Among our services are wikipedia, medical library, weather forecast, social network, news and much more.

We invite you to change the life of thousands of Cubans, by creating new web apps over email. Put your favorite websites to work via email, contribute to create an international impact and use your skills to set online those who never had experienced the internet before.
