About OneRoof

OneRoof, Inc. is a San Francisco-based social enterprise company with extensive prior experience in having delivered IT-enabled communications, computer literacy education, rail, bus & air ticketing, mobile services and insurance to rural communities in India and Mexico.

OneRoof now focuses on providing free turnkey software to run and effectively manage public access computing locations (e.g. Internet cafes, cyber cafes, public telecentres, libraries) with its proprietary full-featured software at no cost -- in every country.

As a B Corporation, OneRoof helps enable all kinds of business models in providing inexpensive access to the Internet and promoting computer literacy -- both critical for diminishing poverty and social inequality.

The Change We Seek®

OneRoof supports the belief that Internet access should be a Universal Right and facilitated for people of all walks of life.

Its market-leader CyberCafePro® management software is distributed free worldwide -- and thus helps bridge the digital divide by directly supporting the sustainability of public access computing locations. For-profit locations have a better chance to stay open with effective management tools, and non-profit organizations can more successfully seek continued public funding with reliable social metrics about the people they serve.

OneRoof is a global social enterprise with the dual goals to 'Do Good' and 'Do Well' – a double bottom line that we believe possible and by which we measure our success.
