02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
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.
