Connectivity for Communities

For a search and rescue team assessing earthquake damage to a team coordinating aid distribution following a disaster, mobile teams work best when they have secure internet access to communicate and plan efficiently, with each other and other actors.

Big Box fits in a small backpack and can create secure and high-capacity Wi-Fi in less than a minute. No technical expertise is required and the system is remotely manageable. Big Box is flexible, able to use 4G, satellite or microwave backhaul as the situation demands.

If teams are forced to evacuate an area, Big Box can be packed up easily and deployed at the next location.

CONNECTIVITY FOR LEARNING

A lack of connectivity can shut learners out of opportunity, but it can also hold back teachers, schools and whole learning environments.

Through this theme, Jangala helps make education more accessible, effective and inclusive by connecting the people and places that learning depends on.

In the UK, this includes schools, after-school provision, ESOL and home access for learners who might otherwise be left behind. Internationally, it includes schools, informal learning spaces, digital hubs and support for educators as well as students.

Our aim is simple: to make sure connectivity strengthens learning wherever it happens.

CONNECTIVITY FOR HEALTHCARE

From an unconnected rural school to a remote operations headquarters, reliable internet is vital for both day-to-day operations and long-term development gains for people and economies.

Big Box can combine various different slow or unreliable internet inputs to create a fast and reliable connection that can support multiple Wi-Fi and wired networks.

CONNECTIVITY FOR CRISES

In times of crisis, connectivity is not a luxury: it is a lifeline. It helps people reach loved ones, access services, continue learning, find safety and begin to rebuild. 

Through this theme, Jangala supports people facing displacement, instability and acute need, while also strengthening the organisations that respond to them. 

In the UK, this includes temporary accommodation, refuges and refugee services. Internationally, it includes refugee camps, humanitarian response and support for displaced people and frontline teams. This work is central to who Jangala is, rooted in the organisation’s beginnings and continuing today wherever connectivity can protect dignity, agency and hope.
