Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of education'
No-one in the world should be excluded from education through lack of technology. We collect and refurbish end-of-life laptops and other devices, and donate them to combat digital exclusion*. A hidden sector of society is being left behind – those who don’t have a device or internet access. At the same time, millions of useable devices are discarded by people and organisations on the endless upgrade cycle. We exploit this irony to the full! We collect discarded devices, refurbish them and donate them to digitally excluded people. Our focus is on education.
Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people','Other charities or voluntary bodies'
Objectives: To advance education and welfare anywhere in the world by sourcing, refurbishing and providing computers, related equipment and support services to educational establishments, community organisations, NGOs and others working in fields as diverse as education, recreation, environment, human rights, healthcare and welfare. To provide sustainable educational , social and economic benefits to low income families and impoverished communities through the provision of computers and related equipment and thereby to assist in combating the digital divide. To protect and enhance the environment by ensuring appropriate recycling of computers and related equipment which can no longer be refurbished . To provide computer and IT services of all kinds to charities and voluntary organisations so as to assist them in their effectiveness and efficiency.
