Who WE Are

Our Story

mohuman was founded in 2018 as a nonprofit 501c(3) organization to help digitally underserved individuals and families access digital services to improve their lives. As an immigrant from Guyana and The Bahamas where access to technology was little to none, Nishal Mohan founded mohuman to help people with similar lived experiences. It was the eventual access to the internet and digital services that enabled Nishal to learn faster, hustle harder, and rise up. It allowed him to become a Scientist earning a doctorate from Princeton University, lead global biosecurity and pandemic preparedness efforts, develop next generation science and technology policies for the US government, become a Smart Cities Leader, a national Digital Equity Champion for digitally underserved communities, and an Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of California, San Diego.

The 2019 COVID-19 pandemic conclusively showed the world that people who are not digitally prepared are far more likely to lose their jobs, their education, and their lives.

In 2020, Nishal and mohuman received honors for their national work bridging the digital divide for the American people as a 2020 FCC DOER (Digital Opportunity Equity Recognition) and in San Diego as a Next Century Cities Local Leader. mohuman is for the people and driven by the people to empower those who are low-income, people of color, immigrants, marginalized, and digitally underserved. Our team of digital rebels strives to carve out an easier path to social, intellectual, health, and economic equity in their communities.
