Sending Computers To India
WORLD COMPUTER EXCHANGE (WCE)
| Contact: | Timothy Anderson, CEO WorldComputerExchange@mediaone.net |
WCE is a non-profit officially started July 1st, 2000 with mission of alleviating the digital divide through transferring donated internet capable computers from the U.S. to developing countries and also facilitating educational-cultural exchanges between students of donor and recipient countries. WCE has established contact with organizations in 35 countries and defined criteria for proposals from recipient projects.
WCE brokers donations of working, surplus, Internet-accessible computers and monitors from large U.S. companies. It asks their help in packing the computers in shipping containers for ocean shipment along with their maintenance histories and inventories.
WCE works via Ministers of Education, Non-Governmental Organizations, and Universities that distribute the computers to the participating schools, and help them primarily with connectivity issues and maintenance.
