World Computer Exchange

WCE is dedicated to helping the world's poorest youth bridge the global divides in information, technology and understanding. WCE does this by keeping donated computers out of landfills and giving them new life connecting youth in developing countries to the Internet. The donated computers are collected by volunteers in cities in the US. The equipment is refurbished and loaded with rich educational content that can be used when the Internet is unavailable. WCE also sends teams of volunteers for two weeks to help some of our partner organizations network the computers in a lab or train teachers on how to best use computers in the classroom. Other services WCE provides include 1)our Inspire Girls initiative to develop coding boot camps and other programs and materials that encourage girls to stay in school and study science, technology and math, 2) computer refurbishing clubs lead by high school students at their schools in the US and Puerto Rico, and 3) establishing new chapters within several countries in Africa to collect and refurbish computers donated by local companies for the use in local schools.
