In November 2017, Wifinity realised that while it’s nice to have grand Christmas parties, they could put their money, energy and Christmas spirit to better use. It could impact the lives of the most vulnerable, by providing them with free WiFi, to improve everyday life, and offer opportunities and tools currently out of reach to them.
Wifinity partnered with four homeless shelters and provided secure, fast and unlimited WiFi to isolated, marginalised and necessitous individuals and families, for free, forever. “Good Connections” was born.
As long as the shelters are standing, we will be providing WiFi there! This includes maintenance and 24/7 customer support.
Whether you are in Accounts, HR, Sales, Marketing or Engineering, everyone must put aside their day job and get installing cables and APs!
No-one loves a challenge more than a Wifinian! So to add that extra layer of complexity, the team is working against the clock!

The challenge also has a great impact on our team. We quickly noticed that team morale spiked, and team engagement and relationships improved overnight.
We all felt like we were truly making a positive impact on people’s lives and a great sense of pride can be felt ever since.

Wifinity employees were lucky enough to spend the day with the residents and fantastic YMCA staff. It was heartwarming and so rewarding to hear some of the feedback, such as this resident quote: “You installing this, I think, makes a huge difference to these people. Being able to educate yourself is a lifeline to get out. I really want to do an online education. Nine months I’ve been here, and we’ve not been able to, and now I can. So yeah, really, thank you guys!”
