Do you need internet at home, or do you know of someone who might?
With all that is going on in our world and the need for physical distancing, the ability to be digitally connected with each other has never been more important. Libraries Horowhenua is proud to be a Skinny JUMP partner, and help connect our community.
Skinny JUMP (previously Spark JUMP) is designed for households at risk of digital exclusion, who don’t already have a broadband connection at home.
Skinny Jump is flexible prepaid broadband: Only $5 for 30GB of data, no contracts or credit checks, and the modem comes free of charge. Just top up as you go.
The eligibility criteria for JUMP has been widened, if you identify with one or more of the following groups, this could be for you:
Families with children
Seniors
People with disabilities
Migrants and refugees with English as a second language
Māori & Pasifika youth

Every New Zealander deserves to have the opportunities to learn and thrive in the modern digital world.
Due to the recent COVID-19 situation, many local Jump partners have closed temporarily. Some partners can help you sign up over the phone. You can find out by selecting a partner on the map and giving them a ring. We’re updating the partner map with these details every day.
