Empowering Futures: Winter SIM Card Package Update
The Winter SIM Card Package championed by IFB Gaming has now come to a close. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported this initiative.
Together, we’ve made a significant impact in addressing digital exclusion and data poverty.

At the heart of this mission is the belief that digital inclusion is a basic right, not a luxury. By providing free SIM cards, digital literacy workshops, and carbon literacy education, we are building resilient, sustainable communities that are equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Thank you for being part of this journey toward a more connected and inclusive future. Stay tuned for more updates from IFB Gaming as we continue to empower communities!
Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind in the journey toward a greener, more inclusive future.
Leo Emmanuel’s Story
Click to read Leo’s Story
Leo had just arrived in the UK to begin his studies, but his journey was not without its challenges.
Having been in London for a while, Leo found himself unable to contact his friends and family back home, leaving them unaware of his arrival. This lack of connectivity also prevented him from fully enjoying the benefits of micro-learning and the broader perks of higher education in the UK.
Like many refugees we support daily through the National Digital Inclusion Network, Leo was only granted refugee status after his arrival in the UK. Consequently, he spent a considerable amount of time without access to public support, until he stumbled upon the National Digital Inclusion Network’s map.
Through the directory, Leo connected with IFB Gaming. He swiftly filled out the Emergency Data Request Form on IFB’s website on a Friday and, despite the rain, was able to collect his SIM package at one of our Southwark data waypoints on Sunday morning—just in time for his lectures on Monday.
Now, Leo can reconnect with his family, engage in micro-learning at university, and fully participate in socio-economic learning opportunities.
