COMPUTERS to SCHOOLS IN TANZANIA Since the beginning of 2010 the Rotary Club of Chelmsford Mildmay has been involved in a project to send recycled computers from Essex schools and businesses to Tanzania, Africa. The scheme, which is run entirely by volunteer Rotarians and professional partners, is supporting pupils in Tanzania who, without access to computers in the 21st century, would be disadvantaged in their education. The entire operation, from the collection of the computers (including PCs, laptops and Apple Macs), to the clearing of hard drives and shipping to Tanzania, followed by internal distribution, is carried out by Rotarians under the expert supervision of IT specialists who are familiar with data protection and waste disposal requirements. Supporters of the project can, therefore, rest assured that any donation of computer equipment will be handled competently from start to finish. Even the arrival of the computers in Tanzania, and their allocation and distribution to schools there, is overseen by a Rotarian! There is no charge to donors for the refurbishment of donated computer equipment. Everything necessary, even clearing hard drives of data, is undertaken, to professional standards, by the Rotary Club and trusted partners.
Following the successful shipment of our first two containers, each with 200 computers, printers and other equipment, we are starting the collection process again ready for the third shipment. We ask potential donors to send us an email with details of the equipment being offered, and their contact details. To do that click HERE to download a pro-forma Word document to your computer, then follow the instructions it contains. The Rotary Club will arrange collection within a 20 mile radius of Chelmsford. Further email enquiries can be made to: computers@mildmayrotary.org for more information about our shipments CLICK - 1st Shipment or 2nd Shipment |
