Zuckerberg said on Facebook that by giving people the tools, knowledge and opportunity to access the internet, we can empower them, and we know that the internet is an important driver of jobs, economic growth and opportunity. And research tells us that for every 10 people who connect to the internet, one person is lifted out of poverty.

Zuckerberg also said today that Facebook is working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to bring internet access to refugee camps around the world.
