Computer Aid is a charity I have lots of respect for, so I was interested recently when I stumbled across a UK company that supports Computer Aid. Knowledge Train is a training company that has social responsibility as one of its core values, and has supported Computer Aid. Knowledge Train is typical of the many smaller and large organisations that contribute to Computer Aid by donating computer equipment.
Its mission is to empower the developing world by providing access, education, implementing technology, and supporting environmentally responsible solutions.
Since its formation in 1997 is has helped millions of people in over 100 countries by providing over 250,000 computers.
Computer Aid seeks to provide technology to help create a better learning environment by delivering computers which allow easier communication and access to educational resources.
What it does: Computer Aid offers the following services:
Provides access to low-cost computers and software for non-profit organisations Trains teachers in ICT skills to improve their confidence when teaching Places its projects in places where they will create the biggest impact Offers a secure IT disposal service to help companies tackle electronic waste Recycles electronic waste at the end of its usable life.
