Needed Donated Space for Testing/Storing Used Computers for Overseas Schools
The local Chicago chapter of World Computer Exchange needs a secure space about the size of a two-car garage with available electricity. The space will be used for drop-offs when volunteers are present and then testing and storing of the equipment until we have 200 full sets to fill a shipping container. The donation of this space to our nonprofit is tax deductible.
World Computer Exchange works to bridge the digital divide for the world's poorest youth by collecting donated, working computers and shipping them overseas to schools, orphanages, and libraries. Our volunteers also work to strengthen these schools and youth organizations in developing countries. We ship working Pentium 3 and above computer sets to groups that have submitted sustainable plans for placing, using, and caring for these computers.
While giving these computers new lives, it also helps the environment by keeping computers out of landfills. Taking apart an old computer and manufacturing a new one makes 25 times the carbon footprint.
