When the covid pandemic hit, the move to online learning exacerbated existing educational inequalities. Children were told to study online at home throughout the rolling lockdowns, whether or not they had sufficient Wi-Fi.

For the Access Project, an education charity that provides tutorials to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring their students had Wi-Fi at home was crucial for them to carry out their work, and more important than ever to help their students catch up with peers. 

Jangala provided The Access Project with 120 Get Boxes for them to send easy-to-use, free Wi-Fi to their students who need it. 

Nathan Sansom, Chief Executive of The Access Project, said: “Having a stable internet connection at home is an essential means of accessing education – especially during a pandemic. That’s why we are so excited to be able to offer hundreds of our students Get Boxes and SIM cards so that they can continue to access their tutorials online.”

One student studying with The Access Project said: “Since I received WiFi support from The Access Project, I’ve been able to keep on top of revision, homework and my tutorials. My grades have improved massively.”
