Camara Education offers free computer recycling for January

Irish charity Camara Education is offering free computer recycling for the month of January.

A social enterprise and charity, specialises in the re-use of computers to educate children in disadvantaged schools in sub-Saharan Africa, Jamaica and Ireland, Camara Education refurbishes computers sourced from Irish businesses, government departments and individuals, loads them with educational software and distributes them to disadvantaged schools.

To date Camara has dispatched over 27,000 computers, improving education for over half a million disadvantaged children and giving them the opportunity to become digitally literate.

Each reused computer has a positive educational impact for at least 10 disadvantaged children each year, and defers the release of 650kg of CO2 emissions.

Camara’s drop-off points can be found in Chapelizod Industrial Estate, Dublin; Townsend Enterprise Park, Townsend Street, Belfast; and on Distillery Road, as part of the National University of Ireland in Galway.
