Volunteers across CDW have been working with Jangala since March, preparing their Get Box Wi-Fi devices, to support underserved and marginalised communities across the UK get online. Jangala’s Get Boxes are a long-term, end-to-end solution to digital poverty, providing a powerful Wi-Fi connection for up to 20 people. This internet access can be used by students to complete homework, allow young people to gain the digital skills to secure jobs, and help elderly people connect with loved ones. Jangala’s mission is one close to our hearts here at CDW. We believe in technology as a force for good, and helping those take advantage of all it has to offer to improve their lives. It’s why so many of our coworkers volunteered their time and expertise to assist Jangala scale their processes to meet the increased demand for Get Boxes, helping close the gap in the digital divide in the UK. Jangala has a mission to connect 4 million people to the internet by 2030 and it’s partnerships like this that will make this vision a reality. We’re currently preparing the Get Boxes for their final stage, with volunteers working from our NDC in configuring, checking, and packaging units for delivery to households across the UK who otherwise would not be online.
