Lending a hand
around the world

Lending a hand around the world

There’s a word for neighbor in every language. And we want to be a good one wherever we do business. Through our Wireless Reach™ program, we help bridge the digital divide with a focus on entrepreneurship, public safety, health care, education and the environment. Through QCares, our global philanthropy and volunteer program, we invest our human and financial resources in inspirational, innovative programs that help build communities that are healthier, more culturally vibrant and better educated. To date, we’ve contributed more than $165 million and our employees have volunteered thousands of hours. In 2010, we made a difference in many ways around the world. We’re proud to share some of those stories here.
