Empowering Bright Futures
Welcome to Nova, where we strive to bridge the digital gap and empower young girls into entrepreneurship and leadership roles - particularly in deprived areas across the UK.
In a world increasingly reliant on technology, we recognise the critical importance of ensuring equal access to digital resources for all. Our mission is to break down barriers, and remove additional hurdles, providing girls with the tools and opportunities they need to unleash their full potential as future leaders and innovators.
Through partnerships, donations, and community engagement, we work tirelessly to equip girls with laptops, access to online learning, and support networks that enable them to thrive in the digital age.
HERE’S WHY YOU NEED TO CARE:
Office for National Statistics
According to a report by the Office for National Statistics, around 700,000 children in the UK, predominantly from deprived areas, do not have access to a laptop or desktop at home, limiting their ability to engage in online learning and explore digital opportunities.
UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee
The UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee reported that lack of access to technology among disadvantaged communities, including many young girls, is a significant barrier to acquiring essential digital skills, limiting their future educational and employment opportunities.
Education Policy Institute
Research conducted by the Education Policy Institute found girls from disadvantaged backgrounds are significantly less likely to have access to digital devices compared to their more affluent peers, exacerbating educational inequalities and hindering their digital skills development.
Office for National Statistics
Data from the Office for National Statistics indicates that girls from low-income families are less likely to have internet access at home, with nearly 20% of households in the lowest income bracket lacking internet connectivity, further impeding their access to educational resources and online learning platforms.
Sutton Trust
A study by the Sutton Trust revealed that only 16% of children from the lowest-income households have access to a desktop or laptop computer at home, highlighting a stark digital divide that disproportionately affects girls in deprived areas.
Children's Commissioner for England
According to a study by the charity Children's Commissioner for England, approximately 9% of children in the UK do not have access to a digital device such as a laptop, desktop, or tablet at home, with a higher prevalence observed among children from disadvantaged backgrounds, including girls in deprived areas.
