The Digital Poverty Alliance (DPA) has partnered with Sincere Education and Cultural Development (SECD) to help provide access to technology for Ukrainian refugee families.

The DPA scheme aims to support families who are fleeing war by enabling access to online services, including education.

Through the partnership, the charity initiative – which is a coalition of third, public, and private sector partners – has provided 100 laptops to refugees.

Vodafone’s charities.connected scheme has also donated pre-paid SIM cards to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London.

“We know that accessing the online world is increasingly important, whether it’s enabling you to access education, training or other fundamental public services,” said Elizabeth Anderson, chief operating officer, DPA. “For these families however, it’s also a vital means of contacting friends and family that they may be separated from as well as getting vital information about the home country they’ve been forced to leave behind.”

“We’re really proud to be able to support SECD in some small way and would like to once again send the families our warmest wishes.”
