18 Months on from our original appeal for UK kids needing laptops, a youth worker from Essex youth services has asked us to help provide laptops for young refugees from 6-16 years old. A large influx from Ukraine is expected in the next few days and we may need 70 additional laptops to give them a hand.
We are not exporting laptops to another country and these laptops will help them continue their schooling for children who will be arriving with little to nothing.
If you've got a laptop to donate, we ask that it is either windows 10 (or higher) with 8Gb of RAM or the capability to be upgraded to 8GB. This is because 4GB or less, or older versions of windows cannot now run the basic schooling software effectively. Chromebooks are also acceptable
This fundraiser will be to pay for spare parts for broken laptops or if we get enough, to buy laptops to top up the donations.
If you are a corporate sponsor who'd like to provide corporate laptops, please let us know on tim@eehack.space / 07832 118490
