Computers 4 Africa supports this initiative

Computers 4 Africa is pleased to be involved and supports this initiative

We think that this is the best out there, in being the most environmentally friendly and socially responsible project of its kind.

Computers only go to schools and nonprofits, who only pay for the logistics - the PCs are free. Every bit of kit is tracked by its serial number to its destination. A fund pays for one-for-one recycling of PCs at the end of their lives in Africa to international standards.

This is genuine technology transfer and is not dumping waste because only working, refurbished, tested, reasonably modern PCs are shipped. 80% at the moment are P4s and the rest are top end P3s - good kit by any standard.

Green Party - please think again!
