Success starts with connection.

Without internet access, children fall behind, opportunities are missed and families are locked out of everyday life.

Whānau Link exists to help change that for Southland families.

Because every Southlander deserves the chance to learn, grow, apply for jobs, access healthcare and stay connected to the world around them.

This is more than internet access.
This is opportunity.
This is equity.
This is Southland stepping forward for its people.

No Southlander should be left behind.

This is about digital equity and making sure every Southlander has the opportunity to learn, connect and participate.

What has been incredible is seeing Southland businesses step forward while the strategy to connect with families across the region was still being mapped. Why? Because NO Southlander should be left offline.

This is Southland doing what Southland does best. Backing our people, supporting our communities and stepping forward to create real impact for local whānau.

Huge thanks to Craigs Design & Print, Invercargill Airport, Southland Express, MediaWorks New Zealand, The Hits - Aotearoa, The Southland Tribune, The Southland Times, and Naked Creative for getting behind Whānau Link from day one.
