Supporting Vulnerable Communities From Above
In a world where , according to Avanti ’ s group director of HR , Debbie Mavis , we can expect to see people travel less for work throughout all parts of the world , delivering stable internet connectivity wherever and whenever people need it is going to be crucial .
“ There are many ongoing projects that we are honoured to be a part of , and it is our aim to connect communities in areas where they don ’ t have access to good connection . We work directly with SINA ( Social Innovation Academy ) to provide refugees and host communities in Uganda with solar powered satellite broadband connectivity . This directly supports access to information , humanitarian and livelihood services within refugee settlements . The solution designed will also be installed into seven other sites across Ugandan Refugee settlements ,” she explains .
“ Looking ahead at the shift we are seeing in people travelling less for work in all parts of the world , it ’ s important to be able to provide high stable connectivity in remote regions . Our collaboration with SINA ( Social Innovation Academy ) will see high-speed internet access introduced across some of the most remote areas of East Africa , enabling refugees to access tools to increase self-reliance and rebuild livelihoods , in addition to reconnecting people with their loved ones online .”
