Digital exclusion impacts all ages - from parents and carers to workers and students trying to keep up.

It hits hardest for those already facing financial struggles.

That’s why we’re working to bring devices, data, and digital skills to people who need them most.

Digital inclusion isn’t a nice-to-have - it’s a basic need. More and more of life happens online.

People need a device, data, skills and support when it’s needed.

This is the Minimum Digital Living Standard. We work with the @NDI_Network to help people get online and thrive.
