DevicesDotNow – Firoozeh Salimi

Find out how DevicesDotNow, a project providing emergency devices and data to those struggling due to Covid-19, helped Firoozeh and her family.

By Good Things Foundation · 23/04/2020

DevicesDotNow is aiming to get thousands of internet connected devices out to people who are further excluded from technology during the coronavirus outbreak.

People just like Firoozeh Salimi and her family, who came to the UK from Iran 8 months ago. With a household of two adults and two children with no internet or devices, the family relied heavily on community organisations and schools to access the internet.

With English as her second language and a disabled member of her family, it is crucial she can access the online support needed for the family.

Firoozeh has been supported by the Being Woman centre for the past few months and they have ensured she could get hold of the tablet as part of the DevicesDotNow campaign.

Let's Fix the Digital Divide together

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed and exacerbated digital exclusion across the UK. Digital inclusion is no longer a nice-to-have, but a need-to-have and people still urgently need access, digital skills and support. We appreciate donations of any size as your donation can contribute to getting more households connected and comfortable using technology.
