Social enterprise Camara Education has renewed it’s call for donations of used ICT equipment, particularly flat screen monitors.
Over 2,000 refurbished PCs are ready for dispatch but are missing accompanying monitors. This shortage is due to the fact that many people hold on to their existing monitor when updating the rest of their computer equipment.
"The delivery of these 2,000 refurbished computers will benefit another 42,000 children from disadvantaged communities, providing access to valuable digital literacy and livelihood skills," said John Fitzsimons, CEO of Camara Education. "We have the base units, the peripherals and most importantly the schools. With monitors we can make this happen and avoid these computers being recycled."
Camara Education supplies equipment, training and support for teachers in Ireland, Africa, Haiti and Jamaica. Every reused computer has the potential to provide 21 children with digital literacy skills.
