About the article
The article highlighting the work of the Coban producer was published in 2023 and features inspiring stories of women who have been impacted in Guatemala, Africa, and India thanks to Microsoft Airband technology and its collaboration with other organizations. One of the featured stories is that of Petrona Cucul, a woman from the Sequilá community whose life has changed dramatically thanks to access to electricity and internet provided by the digital community center.
Petrona, who previously had limited economic opportunities due to a lack of these resources, has received training at the technology center.
