TRANSPARENCY
Our Impact
Access created, devices reused, support delivered.
How we measure impact
We think about impact in terms of access created, not devices handed out. A computer that serves one student well, comes back, and then serves another has multiplied its value.
Access
Students and young professionals who gain reliable access to a computer.
Reuse
Devices returned, serviced, and placed with a second or third recipient.
Support
Technical assistance provided so recipients can keep working.
Our numbers
We keep computers refurbished and ready before the requests arrive, so that a student who asks is not told to wait for the next shipment. That is what these figures are for.

Counts cover laptops and desktops only; tablets and accessories are tracked separately. Figures as of August 2026 and updated as machines go out.
What changes when a computer arrives
These are the changes students have described to us since receiving their computers, kept close to the way they told them.
Schoolwork happens at home
Assignments that used to depend on finding a free machine somewhere else now get done at home.
No more staying late at work
Students who work no longer have to stay behind after a shift to finish homework on an office computer.
No travelling after dark
Nobody has to make a trip at night to reach a computer they are allowed to use.
Students who have received a computer

What people tell us afterwards
We asked people who already have one of our computers how it is going. Eight households replied, including some who received a machine before the program was formally organised. This is a small sample, and we would rather show it honestly than round it up.
