Do we need a new digital equity roadmap? I say yes and some clear goals to close the digital divide by 2030 in Aoteaora. Here is how you can get involved.

Tech giants and other enormous corporates have the resources and capabilities to join forces with wonderful charities who are on a quest to close the digital divide here in Aotearoa.

Having broadband on tap and Chromebooks, tablets and smartphones that can run the latest applications, helps kids learn. It aids adult family members to upskill themselves and take care of household admin more easily.

Tens of thousands of low-income families could gain access to broadband and the devices they need to connect to the internet with a digital equity payment delivered via the Ministry for Social Development.
