We are together helping to close the technology gap

Dear project supporters and friends, 

We have some excellent news! We’re together helping to close the technology gap for the future leaders of Freetown one student at a time.

This has been possible thanks to you and an organization called Computer Equipment for Kids. 

Computer Equipment for Kids is an organization in Virginia that provides computer equipment to families who cannot afford them. They take old/used laptops/tablets, refurbish them by cleaning the system, installing a new operating system, and fixing minor issues. They have been sending a steady supply of refurbished laptops and tablets to Develop Africa.

Your donations have helped to ship the laptops and Kindle ebook readers to Freetown.   These donated laptops and tablets are being distributed in Freetown and used by students in school for their studies, computer classes, and reading books on tablets.  

Computers are an essential part of the information age because we live in a technology-driven world. More and more well-paying jobs require computer knowledge and experience. Too many Freetown students don’t have access to computers or tablets. Thank you for helping to fill the technology gap.  

Our recurring donors are truly making a difference.  If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support as we continue to provide children in Sierra Leone with the educational resources they need to be the future leaders of Sierra Leone. 

Please share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.


We deeply appreciate you.

Cristopher and the Develop Africa team
