About BRCK
BRCK started as an integrated hardware and software company, and still creates its own hardware in Kenya. We deploy that hardware for use in our own Moja Network. Moja is a free public WiFi network from the BRCK team. Anyone within range of the signal can connect to the internet for free, or you can watch shows, listen to music or read books from the stored content on the network.
