We empower communities by helping them get better internet access and equity in connectivity to improve the quality of their lives

At Equity in Connectivity, we help groups that have lower likelihood of being digitally included in New Zealand because we believe that digital inclusion relates to waiora/wellbeing. Having access to the internet empowers and enables growth.  

 

In 2017 NZES reported that only 69% of those living in Housing NZ (or the local equivalent of social housing), had access to the internet, compared with 91% reporting access across all respondents.

Furthermore, only 71% of people with disabilities report having access to the internet. NZCVS reported in 2018 that 17% of people with disabilities indicate having no internet access, compared to the full sample where just 5% have no internet access.
