Your Support Can Turn Poverty into Prosperity

 

Making a computer class in every school in Sub Saharan Africa has the potential to lift

over 100 million people out of poverty.

Your Computers Can Educate Africa 

If your company is upgrading its equipment, your used computers could provide young boys and girls with access to digital literacy, opening doors to knowledge and opportunities that were once firmly closed.

Social Justice

By donating your company's used computers, you're not merely upgrading your own technology and clearing storage space. You're laying the foundation for new opportunities and dreams across the African continent.

Economic Development

We view unused electronics as vehicles for a valuable second life. Donating computers to Africa represents an investment in a future where every child harnesses education to improve their life, uplifting communities and countries alike.

Peaceful Coexistence

Equipping African schools with tools to boost digital literacy and foster critical thinking lays the groundwork for cross-cultural exchanges and collaboration among tribes, ethnic groups, and nations.

Our vision is simple

Redirecting your older tech to African classrooms will give your electronics a second life. It is more than an act of charity; it's an investment in a future where every child can harness the power of education.

Your contributions will be acknowledged across African schools, where your donated computers will make a difference. Your representatives are invited to witness this impact at the opening ceremonies of our new learning spaces and meet the students whose futures will be transformed

Educational Software to Schools across Africa

Your educational programs and interactive software will ignite a pursuit of knowledge among young boys and girls. By granting free access to your platform, you are not merely broadening your user base; you are driving a learning revolution across the African continent.

Freedom and Democracy

Education is the cornerstone of democracy, empowering individuals with knowledge, critical thinking, and the capacity to challenge injustice.

Women's Leadership

Education nurtures women's self-confidence and equips them with the competencies necessary for proficient leadership.

Climate Action

Educated young people are increasingly inclined to acquire green skills and embrace environmental standards. Their consumer habits are shifting towards eco-friendly products, stimulating the green economy.

Every Child Will be able to Access Digital Education, Regardless of Their Geographical Location

Our Commitment to Action

Within the next decade, we aim to halve the current 29% youth unemployment rate in Sub-Saharan Africa by establishing computer classes across all schools over a 5-year period, thus providing every child with access to learning opportunities. As educational quality improves, we anticipate corresponding advances in economic development, political stability, social equity, and lasting peace across the continent.
